One of my favorite go-to salty & savory cheat day yummies is garlic & parmesan breadsticks, I mean do you blame me? Carbs, cheese and butter are always a good idea. Anyways, there is this absolutely fabulous Italian restaurant near me that makes everything super fresh, including all of their dough for their pizzas and their breadsticks.
I can’t tell you how many times I have ordered and picked up their amazing food for my cheat day. Well, as much as I could eat there every cheat day, sometimes I don’t feel like getting out in the traffic –if you live in the Atlanta area, I know you feel me on this. I figured since I had had such good luck using Publix’s fresh pre-made dough for my Easy Skillet Pizza, that this would definitely be my starting point for my breadstick bites.
I know, I know, I totally cheated by using this dough, but I’m not quite there yet to tackle making a from-scratch dough. Y’all these breadstick bites are going on my mental list of super easy peasy things to make but are also crazy stupid delicious. These are beyond addictive, seriously, my little sister had one, then proceeded to inhale eat the rest of them. They are soft, garlicky, buttery, cheesy and basically perfect, so just go ahead and make these asap. π
dough all smooshed out, sorry hard to see the dough, a thunderstorm had rolled in and it was dark…
while baking, place cheese into a bowl…
now the melted butter and garlic powder…
throw in some hot breadstick bites…
all mixed up and ready to eat…
- 1 (16 Ounce) Bag of Pre-Made Publix Dough.
- 1 Stick (1/2 Cup) of Unsalted Butter, Melted.
- 1 Cup of Parmesan, Finely Shredded.
- 1/2-1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder (depending on how much you prefer).
- 1-2 Teaspoons of Salt, or To Taste.
- Large Sheet Pan.
- If using pre-made dough, let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a floured surface, place your dough.
- Using your hands flatten and stretch it out into an even shape at 1/2 inch in thickness.
- Using a bread knife, cut your dough into desired size bites.
- Place your dough pieces onto your non stick sprayed pan and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the outsides are golden brown.
- While your bites are baking, in a large bowl place your shredded parmesan, melted butter, garlic powder, salt to taste, and mix all together.
- Once you take your bites out of the oven and while still hot, place them into your butter/garlic/parmesan mixture and mix until all of the bites are thoroughly covered, then enjoy!
- I used pre-shredded parmesan, but then used my handheld chopper to get the pieces really small, you could also use a knife.
- Remember you can use as little or as much garlic, parmesan or salt as you like.

Good thing I am somewhat faster than my girlfriend. I was able to *ahem* “taste” 3-4. I would have liked “sampling” more of them, but sadly, my girlfriend has a deceptively big appetite, and alas, I was not able to taste more of these delicious snacks.
Though I suppose this is a good thing, I didn’t have to sacrifice a goat later that day to calm down the roaring demon that is her stomach.
tl;dr this is good nomming.

hahaha!! it was better you stepped aside otherwise you would have been in danger of losing a digit had you gotten in the way of April and these bites π
