A garlic bread/cheese pizza cut into sticks. The whole family will love them. This is the same dough I use for pizza, you could make one batch and turn one into pizza, one into garlic sticks. Feel free to experiment with flavours - the addition of chilli flakes, mixed herbs and other cheeses works wonderfully with the garlic butter. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a cookie tray turned upside down as a replacement.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp yeast
- 1 tbs honey
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups bread flour
Topping
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 tbs garlic crushed
- 1 pinch chives
- 2 cups tasty cheese grated
- 2 tbs parmesan cheese grated
Method
-
Step 1Combine yeast, honey and water in a bowl of a 'stand mixer' and whisk until the yeast is dissolved. Rest for 10 minutes until foamy.
-
Step 2Add olive oil and bread flour and mix with the stand mixer with the dough hook attached until combined.
-
Step 3Once combined, beat with the dough hook in the mixer for 6 minutes on med/high speed.
-
Step 4Remove dough from bowl and lightly oil the bowl, return dough to bowl, cover with clingwrap and leave to rise for an hour.
-
Step 5While dough is rising, make the garlic butter by mixing softened butter, chives and crushed garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Preheat oven to 220C with pizza stone in oven.
-
Step 6Once dough has doubled in size, punch down and remove from the bowl, cut in half and roll out the two halves for two pizza breads onto non stick baking paper.
-
Step 7Generously butter the dough all the way to the edges and sprinkle generously with the cheeses.
-
Step 8Carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and slide the dough onto the stone. Leave the baking paper on the dough to make the transfer much easier.
-
Step 9Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Step 10Carefully remove from oven and cut into sticks.
Equipment
- 2 bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 knife

Recipe Notes
Use chives or any Italian herbs.
Using pesto in lieu of the garlic butter is a wonderful flavour combination to try also, just like fancy Italian pizzerias.
