Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 packet of yeast (1 tbsp)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 – 4 cups flour
- 8 tbsp butter
- 3/4 Parmesan cheese
- Garlic salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170
- Mix the water, sugar and yeast together. Let it bloom for 5 minutes
- Add in the salt, and flour; one cup at a time. Mix with a bread hook for roughly 5 minutes. Once completely incorporated, let the dough rest for 5 minutes
So here is where you can go two different ways, if you want to to ‘dump the dough’ into a pan and make a giant simple pan of sticks to be sliced up like they do at Little Caesars. I’ll give you both ways, for labeling purposes we’re gonna call it Little Caesars and Olive Garden 🙂
Little Caears
- While dough is resting place 4 tbsp of butter in a 9×13 pan and place in the oven to melt
- Remove dish from oven, spread the dough to the edges of the pan
- Melt remaining 4 tbsp of butter and pour on top of dough, sprinkle cheese and garlic salt on top
- Bake for 7-10 minutes
- Turn up the oven to 350 and bake an additional 12 minutes
- Once finished, use a pizza cutter and slice the bread into sticks
Olive Garden
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or use a baking stone. I prefer a stone
- Turn dough out onto counter and roll out in a log
- Slice the dough into pieces, roll out piece and place on baking sheet
- Bake 7-10 minutes
- Turn up the oven to 350 and bake an additional 12 minutes
- Once removed from oven, use a pastry brush and top with melted butter, garlic salt and cheese
These are so good and so easy, normally bread takes forever to rise. If you have time I do like to let them rise. I will make the dough early on in the day, place on stones/baking sheet and cover with a towel and then bake later. It’s a personal preference because I love my bread sticks super fluffy. It depends on how small you cut them but you can typically get 2 dozen sticks if you do it Olive Garden style
