• Canned pizza dough
• Unsalted butter
• Clove of garlic – alternatively can use garlic powder. This is for the garlic butter.
• Parmesan cheese
• Mozzarella cheese
• Italian seasoning – any sort of italian spices work

HOW TO MAKE YOUR CRAZY BREAD

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. If you’re using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions. If you’re feeling adventurous, try making your own pizza dough.
2. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough approximately the size of your baking sheet. Poke holes in it all over with a fork and bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
3. In a microwave, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and mix well.
4. Spread evenly over the dough. Then add the parmesan cheese and top with grated mozzarella cheese. Finish with italian seasoning.
5. Bake for another 4 minutes and broil for 2 minutes until you yield a golden brown crust.
6. Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THESE CHEESE STICKS

Tips for Perfection:

• For an extra cheesy kick, add a sprinkle of additional Parmesan on top before baking.
• Customize the herb blend to your liking – consider incorporating rosemary, thyme, or your favorite Italian herbs.
• Experiment with your favorite cheese combinations to suit your taste preferences.
• Serve with different sauces such as garlic sauce or warm pizza sauce.

STORAGE

Preserving the freshness of your homemade delicious Italian Cheese Bread is key to enjoying its cheesy goodness over time. Here’s how to store it effectively:

1. Room Temperature (Short-Term):
   • If you plan to consume the Little Caesar’s Copy Cat Cheese Bread within 1-2 days, storing it at room temperature is suitable. Place the cooled rolls in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Keep them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
2. Refrigeration (Extended Storage):
   • For longer storage, opt for the refrigerator. Place the rolls in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag. Ensure the rolls are completely cooled before refrigerating to prevent condensation, which can lead to sogginess. Remember that refrigeration may alter the texture slightly, but reheating can help restore freshness.

FAQS

SHOULD I USE A PIZZA CUTTER TO SLICE THE ITALIAN CHEESY BREAD?

Absolutely! A pizza cutter makes slicing the rolls a breeze and helps create clean, even portions.

HOW DO I MAKE THE BUTTERY SAUCE FOR THE ITALIAN BREAD?

Combine melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl to create a flavorful and buttery sauce for brushing over the dough.

CAN I USE A BAKING DISH INSTEAD OF A COOKIE SHEET FOR THIS RECIPE?

While a cookie sheet is recommended for optimal results, a baking dish can be used as an alternative. Ensure the rolls have enough space to expand and bake evenly.

CAN I MAKE MY OWN HOMEMADE DOUGH FOR THIS RECIPE?

Yes, you absolutely can! The reason we chose store bought is to make this a simple copycat recipe.

In the original recipe they have to create a dough with all purpose flour, knead the dough with a dough hook, then let the dough rise in a warm place. Using this simple recipe you skip all of these steps.

CAN I USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHEESE IN THE LITTLE CAESARS CHEESE BREAD?

Absolutely! While the recipe suggests mozzarella and Parmesan, feel free to experiment with your favorite cheese varieties to customize the flavor. Just remember, use lots of cheese!
