This recipe is a crowd pleaser and reminiscent of the bread sticks
some pizzarias offer. You can use leftover pizza dough (about half a
batch) or follow the recipe below. These are tender and chewy - dare
we say "commercial tasting"? For thicker, breadlike pizza dough, add
an additional 1/2tsp yeast.
Lightly coat a 7x11" brownie pan or similar shallow pan with olive
oil. Sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Set aside.
For the dough, hand whisk the water and yeast together in the bowl of
an electric mixer and let stand for 2-3 min to dissolve the
yeast. Stir in the sugar, salt, oil, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic
powder, onion powder, all-purpose flour and 1C of the bread
flour. Mix to make a soft mass. Knead with the dough hook on the
lowest speed of the mixer for 5-8 min, gradually adding more bread
flour as required to form a soft elastic dough. Turn the dough out
onto a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a ball. Place
in the lightly greased bowl Place the bowl in a large plastic bag,
close the bag loosely, and let the dough rise for 30-45 min, or until
almost doubled in size.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pan and gently pat out to fill
the pan, about 1/2" thick. Lightly paint with the butter
mixture. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Let the dough rise for 5 min.
Preheat the oven to 425F. Bake the dough for 15-18 min, or until
golden brown. Remove from the oven, brush with olive oil, and
sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a touch of garlic powder. Using
tongs, lift the baked dough onto a cutting board. Using a pizza
wheel or sharp knife cut the bread into 1/2" wide strips.
