COPYCAT LITTLE CAESARS CRAZY BREAD (no cans, no boxes, FROM SCRATCH!)

This recipe uses NO CANS, NO FROZEN DOUGH, NO BOXES, IT’S FROM SCRATCH!!!!! 🙂

I’ve made a lot of copycats, but this one is DEAD ON! The original instructions called for a stand mixed and a dough hook, but I just used my hands and it came out perfect! There’s just something about that buttery greasy goodness that I just love. This is quick, no fail, super easy, and the KIDS LOVED IT! This made enough for my family with some left over and we have 7 people! If you love crazy bread, you’ll never want to buy it again after trying this!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teas yeast
2 teas sugar
2 1/2 cup flour
1 teas salt
2 TBSP butter, melted and combined with 1 teas garlic powder
2 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or so, until the mixture is foamy. (I just use a whisk and skip the whole mixer thing)

Add the flour and salt. Using a dough hook, knead the dough for 5 minutes or until it’s smooth and not sticky. Let rest for 10 minutes. (I used my hands to mix, no machine or dough hook)

Brush a pizza pan with a little olive oil. I like to sprinkle a little cornmeal over the pan to make it more like Little Caesar’s but you don’t have to. Roll out the dough to cover the pan. Using a pizza cutter, slice down the middle then across to form sticks. Let rest for 10 more minutes.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush with butter mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve warm with pizza sauce.

I am a mom of 5 children... Nope, not a typo... 5!!! With 5 children, it's quite hard to balance time, money, and forget about working a job that pays anything! By the time you pay for someone to watch 5 kids, your paycheck would likely be in the negative! With that being said, running a house with 7 people and a dog can be quite the expense. I have come up with some ways to cut corners at meal time (still being healthy), found ways to save at the grocery store, and different ways to earn cash back from shopping online and in stores as well! My children consist of mostly girls, ages 3,10,12,13 and my boy is 5. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the craftiest gal around, but I do come up with some pretty interesting ideas :) <~~~ Totally not gloating, I was actually pretty taken back when I discovered this about myself! SO, for halloween this year, I asked my kids what they wanted to be and the 13 year old said "Little Red Riding Hood!" 12 year old "Oh I don't know" (I don't know lasted all the way until the day before Halloween) 10 year old always makes her own costume and really doesn't reveal it until the day of Halloween. My boy decided he wanted to be Mario. The 3 year old is too easy, thank goodness she does have much of an opinion yet so I scored this awesome 50's girl costume off of Zulily for $7 and it was perfect. Zulily has some amazing, cute cheap finds! The link for Zulily can be found on my profile links, see for yourself :) Anyway, back to the killer Halloween situation... I decided that anything the girls wanted to be, that I could totally make a tutu for that! All 5 kids decided to be difficult and ALL have summertime birthdays... The older they get, the more elaborate the items become. For them, I can find almost anything on 2 websites that I always always use, I will post the link below as well!
