Have you ever wondered how to make crazy bread? You are in luck. Years ago in college, I fell in love with Little Caesar’s Crazy Bread. This delicious butter and garlic flavored bread is a treat. The Crazy Bread is even better when you make it with this copycat recipe.

Mind

Almost every pizza place sells its own version of garlic breadsticks, but it’s the Crazy Bread Little Caesars serves that a lot of people crave. Maybe it’s the chewy, slightly greasy dough or the heavy hit of garlic and the coating of crispy Parmesan cheese.

Nothing tastes better than fresh, straight out of the oven Little Caesars’ garlic bread, but if you can’t get to a Little Caesars restaurant, you can always try making this Crazy Bread recipe at home.

Baking these breadsticks may not be as easy as picking up an order, but the extra effort is well worth it when you can customize the flavor to get the perfect breadsticks for your palette.

Crazy Bread is the name of the breadsticks sold at Little Caesars’ pizza restaurants. Fans of Crazy Bread love the side’s garlic butter and Parmesan topping.

D.i.y. Crazy Bread Just Like Little Caesars

If you have never had this freshly baked bread topped with the flavors of butter and garlic, then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, you are missing out on one of the best side dishes to have come out of a pizza place.

These are served with their Crazy sauce, but you can eat this fluffy breadstick plain or with your favorite marinara. Whenever I have ordered pizza here, I have always ordered some of their crazy bread.

We will start this recipe with a basic bread dough that you can use your food processor to help you put it together. This recipe also works well with a mixer, or even by hand.

Unlike the restaurant, we will use real butter for this recipe. I bet you will find it makes the crazy bread even a little bit better. You could also make this recipe with a can of pizza dough if you desire.

For this recipe, I like to use yeast that I buy in bulk. I find it when you buy a pound of yeast it costs a lot less than buying individual packages of yeast at the store. I have found yeast at big-box stores such as Costco, Sam’s, or even Amazon.com.

Little Caesars bundles their breadsticks with Crazy Sauce, a spiced-up version of the restaurant’s marinara sauce. In addition to Crazy Sauce, customers can purchase other dips at Little Caesars, including:

You can keep it classic and stick to pairing your copycat Crazy Bread with one of the options above, or you can go a bit wild with these other ideas:

If you are going to make this Little Caesars Crazy Bread recipe, you might as well double up and keep some extra in the freezer for later. You can freeze the breadsticks by wrapping them individually in parchment paper and putting them in a larger container for up to three months.

If you plan to freeze the Crazy Bread from the start, it’s best to bake the breadsticks without the buttery coating and add it later when you reheat the bread.

The Store Bought Ingredient That Makes Tiktok's Little Caesar's Copycat Cheesy Bread So Easy

This classic menu item first appeared on Little Casaers’ menu way back in 1982 as Crazy Crust, but later changed the name. Ina 2009 article, the company claimed that it was the first pizza chain to sell a “side bread item”.

Crazy

As for why Little Caesars decided to call it “crazy” in the first place? Well, the company tweeted in 2013they named it after the guy who created it, “Crazy” Brett.

Little Caesars sold Stuffed Crazy Bread with mozzarella cheese inside, but many locations no longer carry it. However, Italian Cheese Bread is a standard menu item that caters to cheese lovers.

Little Caesars Italian Cheese Bread Sticks

Today’s recipe is an ultra-simple, super-fast, breadstick recipe you can turn into two popular restaurant favorites… Olive Garden Breadsticks or Little Caesars Crazy Bread!

On any given Friday night of my childhood, my dad would bring home pizza from Little Caesars. I was always way more excited about the Crazy Bread that came along with it, than the pizza. (Or pizza pizza.)

Homemade

After testing several batches of dough, to make sure I got it just right, I happened to bite into a buttered breadstick before I rolled it in parmesan cheese.

The only difference is that Crazy Bread is coated in parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce for dipping, while Olive Garden Breadsticks are served with just garlic butter on top. 

For amazing copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks, you simply make the recipe below and skip the step of rolling the breadstick in parmesan cheese.

These pillowy breadsticks are perfect to serve with pasta dishes, or of course, to make “soup and salad night” a little more exciting!

Of course! You should be able to fit up to a triple batch in a large stand mixer. Use our “servings slider” in the recipe form below to multiply the necessary ingredients.

Yes, you can use vegan butter in place of traditional butter. Earth Balance is a good option. For crazy bread, you will need to make vegan parmesan cheese using 3 parts crushed cashews to 1 part nutritional yeast.

Yes, but… You can use a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking mix in this recipe, instead of traditional all-purpose wheat flour. They actually taste really good! However, the texture of the breadsticks is not quite the same. It’s more crumbly and not quite as flexible.

There is something about freshly baked bread, breadsticks or rolls that is so magical. Soup and warm breadsticks are my favorite fall meal. Homemade Little Caesars crazy bread is worth any time that it takes to make. I told Greg, “I can’t stop eating these!!” I ate about 4 right in a row.

Little Caesar's Crazy Breadsticks Copycat Recipe

The cool thing about this recipe is that you plop the risen dough onto the baking sheet and you use the palms of your hand to press it out into a rectangle. No need for a rolling pin. You don’t have to roll the dough into breadsticks…just use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1 inch wide breadsticks. The bread cooks and comes out like pull-apart breadsticks.

I started my crazy bread and then while it was proofing I started making stuffed pepper soup (recipe coming soon). It was perfect because the bread and the soup finished at the exact same time!

The sauce tastes just like Little Caesars sauce. It is super easy to whip up and fun to dip your breadsticks in. Of course the sauce is completely optional.

Copycat

Everyone always asks me what type of mixer I have. It’s an old Bosch mixer that is probably 25-30 years old! It still works great and I use it all the time for cookies and breads.
