Garlic Butter Grilled Breadsticks

This grilled bread is a favorite of ours. Garlic butter grilled breadsticks are such a hit - like a toasty pizza dough doused in garlicky herb butter and lots of parmesan cheese. Always a winner!

Ingredients

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Mix with a spoon, then let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the flour and salt, stirring with a spoon until the dough comes together but is still sticky. Using your hands, form the dough into a ball and work in the additional ½ cup flour, kneading it on a floured surface for a few minutes. Rub the same bowl with olive oil then place the dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and place in a warm place to rise for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  • After the dough has risen, punch it down and place it back on the floured surface. Using a rolling pin or your hands, form it loosely into your desired shape. I like to get it as thin as I can here. If it’s easier, you can also cut the dough in half and do this in two separate pieces. Place the towel back over the dough to rest.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat for 10 to 15 minutes - you want the temperature to be around 450 to 500 degrees F. If needed, lower the temperature a little bit.
  • Combine the butter, garlic, herbs and a big pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the butter melts. Set the mixture aside.
  • Generously cover a pizza peel with flour and coarse grind cornmeal. This will help prevent the dough from sticking.
  • Moving quickly, transfer your pizza dough to the pizza peel, quickly rolling it a bit more if needed but making sure the entire bottom is floured/cornmeal very well.
  • Quickly and gently use a spatula or additional pizza peel to slide your pizza directly on to the grill grates. Decrease the heat directly under the pizza to low - just that single burner. Close the lid and cook until the pizza dough is bubbly and golden, anywhere from 5 to 8 minutes – but this will depend on the thickness of your crust. Just be sure to continue to check it. Flip the dough and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. It will be finished when the edges are golden and puffed up, with a few places charred.
  • Remove the dough and place it on a baking sheet. Brush the melted garlic herby butter all over the dough - top and bottom. Use up all that butter!
  • Sprinkle it with parmesan cheese all over. Slice into breadsticks or pieces and serve!
