Number Of Ingredients 14

PIZZA DOUGH:
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon honey (or sugar)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
3 cups bread flour (give or take 1/2 cup)
CHEESE GARLIC BREAD STICKS:
1/2 recipe Fail-Proof Pizza Dough from above
2 tablespoons softened salted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 pound grated mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

PIZZA DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and honey into warm water. Sit for 5 to 10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be smooth and easy to work with and the bowl should be clean! Lightly grease the bowl & the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1to 2 hours. CHEESY GARLIC BREAD STICKS: Preheat oven to 500°F with pizza stone inside. Mix butter and garlic in a small bowl and set aside. Spread pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. (This makes it easier to transfer to the pizza stone.) Spread the butter and garlic mixture over dough and top with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Top with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, if desired. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Remove from oven and cool 1 to 2 minutes before cutting. Serve hot, with marinara.

Number Of Ingredients 14

For pizza dough
1 cup of warm water
2 1/4 tsps of active dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsps salt
2 tbsps olive oil
3 cups of bread flour
For garlic breadsticks
Half the dough created from pizza dough recipe
2 tbsps salted butter, softened
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Steps:

First for the pizza dough. In a large bowl, stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water. Leave it to stand for approximately 10 minutes or until the mix begins to foam.
Add to the mixture the salt, olive oil and half of the flour and give it a good mix.
Gradually add in the remaining flour and mix it in until you have a dough that is a bit tacky but doesn't stick to your hands.
Knead the dough for 6 minutes. Your arms may well start hurting but do persist!
When needed, place dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Leave it to rise for between 1-2 hours. It can then be used as and when you need it.
Next for the breadsticks. Mix the garlic and butter in a bowl and leave for later.
Spread the dough (half of what you made earlier) into a 12 inch circle on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
Spread the butter and garlic on top of the dough and then sprinkle on the parmesan and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 260C for 10 minutes. When removed from the oven leave to cool for 2 minutes. Then cut into thin strips to resemble breadsticks.
