Dominate Your Kitchen with DIY Domino’s Garlic Bread

Ah, the siren song of Domino’s Garlic Breadsticks. That crispy, cheesy goodness that somehow manages to be the perfect accompaniment to any pizza night. But what if I told you that replicating that restaurant magic was possible right in your own kitchen? No delivery fees, no waiting – just pure, garlicky satisfaction.

Memories of Delivery Delight:

Remember those nights spent devouring piping hot pizza, punctuated by dips into that impossibly cheesy, garlicky bread? This recipe is a chance to recreate those happy memories, but with the added satisfaction of a homemade triumph.

Beyond the Bun:

Now, some might scoff at the idea of replicating a chain restaurant recipe. But here’s the secret: Domino’s uses basic ingredients – flour, yeast, and of course, copious amounts of garlic. By understanding these fundamentals, we can craft our own masterpiece.

The 24-Hour Secret:

This recipe boasts a key difference – a 24-hour dough rise. This extended fermentation time allows the flavors to develop and results in a delightfully chewy texture.

Ingredient Insights:

The star of the show, Domino’s uses a specific garlic butter blend for that signature flavor. Feel free to experiment with your own garlic butter recipe, or simply use a store-bought variety. One secret ingredient some Domino’s insiders whisper about? Cornmeal! A sprinkle on your baking surface gives the breadsticks a delightful crunch.

Tips and Tricks:

Don’t be intimidated by the kneading process. Patience is key!
And don’t be afraid to adjust the amount of garlic and cheese to your preference.
After all, it’s your kitchen, your masterpiece.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair your homemade Domino’s Garlic Bread with a piping hot pizza (homemade or delivered!),
a plate of pasta, Penne pasta in Spinach pesto sauce or Hawaiian pasta salad
or even enjoy them on their own for a satisfying snack.

Servings 1 Garlic bread

Ingredients

1 cup Plain flour Maida
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 tbsp sugar
5-7 chopped garlic cloves
1.5 tbsp oil
1 tbsp salted butter
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp oregano
2 tbsp cheese spread or processed cheese
some Cornmeal (makke ka atta)

Instructions

Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, allowing the yeast to become foamy and alive. (Remember, if your yeast is old, it might take longer. If there are no bubbles after 30 minutes, your yeast is likely inactive and needs to be replaced.)
1 cup lukewarm water, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp active dry yeast
Form the Dough: On your kitchen counter, combine flour, salt, and butter. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Knead the dough for a good 15-20 minutes. Patience is key! Don't add any extra flour; the magic happens as you knead.
1 cup Plain flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tbsp salted butter
Develop the Gluten: After 10-15 minutes of kneading, add half of the oil and continue kneading. You'll know the gluten is developed when the dough becomes elastic and stretches easily. This takes about 15 minutes, so channel your inner athlete and get ready for a delicious workout!
1.5 tbsp oil
Flavor Boost (Optional): If you prefer a stronger garlic and oregano flavor, you can add half of the chopped garlic and oregano to the dough at this stage. Knead for another 2 minutes to incorporate them evenly.
5-7 chopped garlic cloves, 1 tbsp oregano
Rest and Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Yes, a full 24 hours! Don't worry, the wait will be worth it.

The Next Day:

Prep for Shaping: Take out the rested dough and knead it for another 5-10 minutes. Now's the time to add the remaining garlic and oregano, if you haven't already.
Embrace the Cornmeal: Sprinkle a generous amount of cornmeal (also known as Makke ka Atta) on a flat surface. This cornmeal will become one side of your delicious crust.
some Cornmeal
Shape and Fill: Divide the dough into two portions. Using your hands, gently press each portion into a flat round shape on the cornmeal-dusted surface.

Cheese Time: Spread a generous amount of cheese spread or processed cheese on each dough round.
2 tbsp cheese spread or processed cheese
Fold and Flavor: Fold one side of the dough over the cheese to create a half-circle shape. Brush the exposed side with melted butter and sprinkle with your favorite oregano seasoning (Domino's seasoning or regular oregano will work wonders).
1 tbsp salted butter
Slice and Bake: Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into even strips to create your garlic breadsticks.
Baking Magic: Transfer the garlic breadsticks to a baking sheet and pop them in a preheated oven. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes, then increase the temperature to 250°C (480°F) and bake for another 10 minutes. (Remember, oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on your breadsticks and adjust the baking time as needed.)
