Pizza bread sticks are perfect for dipping, and taste great with marinara sauce on the side, but I love eating these garlicy pizza bread sticks on their own. They have just the perfect amount of garlic and salt, with a hint of cheesy flavor from the Nutritional Yeast (a quick word of advise: unless you absolutely love the taste of nutritional yeast, go easy on your sprinkles, it has a strong flavor that makes it easy to over do it). 

I use instant yeast in this recipe, which means you don’t need to soak the yeast, and only need to let the dough rise once before baking. If you use traditional yeast, you will  need to let the yeast sit in the warm water for about 5 minutes before adding the dry ingredients, and you will need to let the dough rise once before rolling it out into the baking pan. 

This recipe for Garlic Bread made with pizza dough is quick and easy, perfect for an appetizer, or serve it as a side dish – we just recently had these garlic bread sticks with creamy tomato soup and it was delicious.

2 1/4 tsp Instant Quick-Rise Yeast

1 tsp Sugar

1 Cup Warm Water

1 tsp Salt

3 1/2 Cups Flour

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 Tbsp Olive Oil

2 1/2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped

2-3 Garlic Cloves, minced

1/4 tsp Salt

1 tsp Nutritional Yeast

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, flour, and yeast with a fork. 

Add the warm water and olive oil, and knead for 5 – 10  minutes, until the dough is smooth. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 8″ x 12″

Place the dough onto a non-stick baking sheet or 9″ x 13″ pan. Cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour. 

Preheat the oven to 400′

Once the dough has risen, brush the dough with olive oil, and sprinkle it with garlic, parsley, salt and nutritional yeast.

Leaving the dough on the pan, cut the dough into 12-14 equal-sized rectangles.

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Enjoy!
