Copycat Little Caesar Crazy Bread
Copy Cat Little Caesars Crazy Bread is light and fluffy with a buttery garlic and parmesan cheese topping. You won't know the difference!
Ingredients
Breadsticks
- 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
- 1 1/4 cup very warm water divided
- 3/4 tbsp granulated sugar divided
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Butter Topping
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (powdered)
Instructions
- Combine the yeast, 1/4 C of warm water, and 1/2 tsp of the sugar to a small bowl. Let the yeast proof. This means to wait until it is bubbly, to show you that the yeast is alive and kicking!
- While the yeast is proofing, add the remaining breadstick ingredients (remaining water, remaining sugar, oil, salt and flour) to the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Once the yeast has proofed, pour it into the stand mixer and begin mixing slowly with the dough attachment. Once all of the flour is combined, knead for 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky, but you should be able to pull off some dough and roll it into a little ball. If it is too sticky for that, add a little extra flour.
- Spray the liner of your Instant Pot with non stick spray, and transfer the dough from the stand mixer bowl to the Instant Pot liner. Use the yogurt setting on NORMAL. Cover with a glass lid and let proof for 20 minutes.
- If rising on the counter, rise covered until double. About 1 hour.
- Turn on the oven to 400°.
- Carefully pour the risen dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Gently with your fingers, press and move the dough into a long rectangle shape.
- Use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into bread sticks.
- Allow the breadsticks to rest for about 10 minutes while the oven is finishing up preheating.
- Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, or until they are just starting to turn brown.
- While the breadsticks are baking, combine the melted butter and the garlic.
- As soon as the breadsticks are removed from the oven, brush the garlic butter on liberally.
- Finally, sprinkle with as much parmesan cheese as your heart desires! Enjoy!
