Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Roll pizza dough out on a flat surface to a square that is approximately 8 inches by 8 inches.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the square into 6 strips both horizontally and vertically for a total of 36 pieces.
Take a piece of dough and tuck the corners underneath. Lightly pinch them together while twisting to form a ball.
Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet over medium low heat with the parsley, oregano and garlic powder.
Generously coat each piece of dough in the garlic herb butter mixture, using a pastry brush and then sprinkle them with half of the parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown. Sprinkle the bites with the remaining parmesan cheese and serve with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Garlic - Add extra minced garlic to the butter mixture for an extra garlicky flavor. Spicy - Add ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic herb butter. Herbs - Fresh herbs cam be used instead of dried. Make sure to mince them finely and double the quantity. You can also substitute the oregano and parsley for Italian seasoning. Cheese - Either grated or shredded cheese can be used. Pecorino romano or asiago cheese are also great substitutes. EXTRA Cheese - Wrap a small piece of mozzarella cheese in each dough ball when shaping them for some extra cheesy little nuggets! Dairy Free - Use a dairy-free or plant-based substitute for both butter and parmesan cheese. Olive oil can also be used instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Dip - Double the garlic butter and use the extra for dipping. Also try alfredo or pesto sauce for dipping too. Shapes - Instead of shaping the dough into balls, cut them into larger strips or leave them in squares. They can be cut into ropes as well and shaped into garlic knots.
