on Dec 30, 2020 Let’s admit it, we all love fast food. And one of our favourites is Dominos. I mean, have you tasted their garlic breadsticks? Made in that trademark dominos style, they’re insanely delicious, and don’t forget that addictive cheesy dip that keeps you coming back for more! Honestly, they’re one of the best breadsticks I’ve ever had. Plus, it’s such fun to tug and pull and fight over the breadsticks when you’re sharing with the folks! The Dominos garlic bread recipe is something we’ve been trying to perfect. (That was our excuse to munch on several Dominos breadsticks) And we’re thrilled to finally share it with you guys. I can confidently say that this is so close to the original, and so simple. We’ve included the recipe for the seasoning mix, and tips on how to make the dough for soft garlic bread, and how to nail that dominos garlic bread crust. Also check out how to make the breadsticks two ways for variety! Cheesy garlic bread is hands down, the best appetizer for any occasion! But we are showing you how to keep it simple with the plain garlic breadsticks too. Garlic Bread Seasoning Mix Guys thisss is what makes the Dominos garlic bread so distinctly different from the rest! This seasoning mix is EVERYTHING in this recipe, and it is so super simple. It’s really just about throwing in the ingredients together, and you can store this mixture and use it with bread toasts and sandwiches later! For the seasoning mix, we’ve used garlic granules, dried oregano, dried rosemary, dried basil, chilli flakes, ground pepper, and salt. You can buy these ingredients in any supermarket. If you can’t find garlic granules, use garlic powder instead, but granules are what we recommend. The seasoning mix is really the unsung hero of this garlic bread recipe. It’s got heat, herby notes, and that big hit of garlic! The Dough for Dominos Garlic Bread The dough for the garlic breadsticks is made with basic pantry items – all purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and a generous amount of the garlic seasoning mix. We’ve used milk to bring the dough together because dough made with milk is much softer than dough made with water. Get the Dough Right: There are some pressure points with this dough that you’ll need to get right.
Knead the dough: You can either knead the dough by hand or use the stand mixer. If kneading by hand, it’ll take you about 7-8 minutes and about 4-5 minutes in the stand mixer till the dough has formed gluten sufficiently. You can test this with the windowpane test, or if you make an indentation in the dough, it should bounce back. Dough Texture and Consistency: When you’re done kneading, the dough should be soft and maybe slightly tacky, but should not stick to the surface anymore.Grated Garlic: We want that hit of pungent garlic from each breadstick. So apart from the garlic seasoning mix, adding grated garlic directly to the dough will elevate those garlicky flavours.Melted Butter: Melt butter before adding it to the dough, that’s the smarter way to incorporate butter. Adding melted butter lifts the dough and gives us the texture we want! It also keeps the dough really soft.
Garlic Breadsticks Done Two Ways We’ve done this garlic bread two ways!
Plain Garlic Bread: If you’re craving the OG breadsticks, the plain version is really simple to do. It’s all about the chewy, crunchy breadsticks and tonnes of garlicky flavour!Stuffed Garlic Bread: Take your breadsticks up a notch and stuff it with your favourite toppings! In this recipe, we made cheesy garlic bread with corn. We also smeared some cream cheese to get that burst of cheese with each bite! You can get creative and make your own customised version of garlic bread!
Garlic Bread Shape – That Trademark Dominos Style How do I get that fluffy, crispy, semi-circle of garlic bread? Easy! All you have to do is roll out the garlic bread and fold it in half. This method works best when you’re making stuffed garlic bread. You can add the filling on one half of the bread and then fold the other half over it. When you fold the dough and bake it this way, the outside becomes really crispy and golden in colour. And the insides are a little moist and soft. With the plain garlic breadsticks, just roll it out in a semi circle and stretch it out with your hands till you get the desired shape. Top Tips to Make Garlic Bread Dominos Style
Sprinkle maize flour: Before baking the bread, sprinkle some maize flour on top. This is the secret ingredient to get that slight crunch on the crust that’s so typical of Dominos. And remember, a little goes a long way!Season the baking tray: And I mean that literally! We sprinkled some garlic seasoning mix and maize flour on the baking tray and placed the dough over it. This way, the bottom of the garlic bread also is well seasoned! So, season your tray!Sealing the dough: When you’re making stuffed garlic bread, ensure that you seal the edges of the dough well. If it’s not sealed properly, the stuffing could ooze out of the dough. We wanna keep all the goodness inside!!
