Crazy Bread is one of the most popular menu items at Little Caesars, and it's surprisingly easy to make at home. The breadsticks are baked to perfection and then topped with melted butter, garlic and parmesan cheese for a delicious side dish to pizza and salad.
Try making this recipe to take to a friend's pizza and movie night, or to bake and freeze to reheat later. This makes a great frozen bread to reheat for weeknight dinners. Simply bake the crazy bread and let it cool completely to room temperature. Then wrap them in parchment paper, store in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to three months. When ready to eat, simply reheat in a 350 F oven until warmed through. You can add more butter and parmesan if you like.
“This recipe is a really easy-to-follow version of the delicious garlic breadstick that's infamous at Little Caesars. I always like a bread recipe that takes just a few hours to bake, and the spread of garlic butter makes it a real treat.” – Tracy Wilk
