Homemade Crazy Bread
If you are a fan of a certain pizza chain's crazy good crazy bread, this cheesy, garlicky recipe is a must.
Ingredients
- For the dough:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water, divided
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 envelope instant yeast
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- For the topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to stand for 5 minutes, or until yeast bubbles up.
- Add flour, salt, olive oil, and remaining water to yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl to form a ball. If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until this happens.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel, and allow to rest in a warm place until dough doubles in volume (approximately 1 1/2 hours).
- Divide dough into 2 parts, then cut into 8 pieces. Using your hands, roll each piece into a cylinder. Using a sharp paring knife, cut the dough into 8 equal-sized 10-inch bread sticks. Gently shape the dough pieces so that they look like breadsticks, and transfer to a lined baking sheet coated in cooking spray. Make sure to space them apart slightly.
- Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, or until just slightly golden.
- Melt butter with salt and garlic powder. Brush over warm breadsticks, and top with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
