This Copycat Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread is much easier to make than you might think (just 4 ingredients) and just like the original (if not better!)
A TASTY COPYCAT BREADSTICK RECIPE
I’m obsessed with Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread. It’s that garlic butter/Parmesan cheese topping that really makes it good. This recipe couldn’t be easier to make so now you can have Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread at home whenever you feel like! Covered with butter and sprinkled with cheese, these pillowy breadsticks only take about 30 minutes to make. So if you love breadsticks as much as I do then you have to make my Copycat Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread recipe!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
No, if you have a favorite homemade pizza dough recipe you can absolutely use it. Just make sure that you are making 2 pounds worth of dough. I just like to use store bought because it is quicker.
This makes a total of 16 breadsticks.
I like to use the basic grated parmesan that comes in the green containers for this recipe (like Kraft.) You can freshly grate your own if you’d like but it’s not going to taste like the ones you get at Little Caesar’s.
You can use any of your favorite dipping sauces. I just use pizza sauce since that’s what you get at Little Caesars with the crazy bread. You could also use marinara sauce or garlic butter.
These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature where they will keep for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen. I suggest wrapping each breadstick individually in plastic wrap and then placing in a freezer bag. These will keep frozen for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove to the refrigerator or countertop overnight until thawed.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- store bought pizza dough
- salted butter
- garlic powder
- grated parmesan cheese
HOW TO MAKE COPYCAT LITTLE CAESAR’S CRAZY BREAD:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining each one with parchment paper. Working with one dough at a time, remove pizza dough from its packaging. Roll it into a ball and set it onto a clean work surface.
Divide the dough into half. Divide each half into quarters. Then, divide those quarters into halves again, resulting in 8 equal-sized portions of dough.
Roll each portion into a ball, then a 6 to 7-inch long breadstick-like shape. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat steps 2 to 4 with the other dough.
Bake both baking sheets of breadsticks for 18 to 20 minutes, or until baked in the center and starting to brown on top.
Add butter to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave until melted. Add garlic powder to the butter and stir to combine. Brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted butter.
Then sprinkle tops with grated parmesan cheese.
Serve breadsticks warm with a side of marinara dipping sauce.
