Pizza Hut Breadstick Cravings

 Some days are just relax and browse pintrest days.....and I must say today was a relax and browse pintrest day after I got off work....There's only one problem with browsing pintrest though, it may cause immediate food cravings....which is exactly what happened when I saw a recipe for pizza hut bread sticks........Pizza hut bread sticks, so good but without money, a little over my budget....Sooo on that note, I decided to make them. Most of the recipes I found had dry milk as an ingredient, so i changed up this one a bit and used it!!!

Happy Eating :)

Pizza Hut Style Breadsticks

1 1/2 cup milk
2 Tb sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon yeast
3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter

Topping:
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons salt (or less to taste)
1 tablespoon oregano

Dissolve sugar and salt in pan with milk Wisk in enough flour (1 cup) to make a soupy mixture. When the mixture is no longer hot but still warm add the yeast and stir well. Then add the rest of the flour, Put a lot of flour onto your counter top and knead the dough until smooth, adding as much flour as necessary.

Roll dough into a rectangular shape the size of your baking pan. Spread half of the butter onto the baking pan, then place your dough into the pan and spread the remaining butter on top of the dough. Top the bread sticks with combined topping. Cut the dough into bread sticks with a pizza cutter and let raise for 10-15 min. Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 25 min.

The Most Perfect Pie

Today, on the last day of my official week vacation, I decided that I should cook a bit seeing that on my whole vacation the only thing I really made was red velvet brownies, which were delicious may I add!!! After buying 3lbs of various apples yesterday, I decided I would make 2 apple pies (one for my house and one for Grammies) and a pumpkin pie for my boyfriends friend. This pie crust recipe had to be one of my absolute favorites, it makes the most perfect tasting, flaky, buttery crust. It's also really easy to work with and roll out, and doesn't require any resting time :).
Here's the recipe and a picture of the pies I made:

Perfect Pie Crust

Yield: One 9-10 inch pie, and a little bit of extra crust for decorating

1 1/3 Cup Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt (If your making a Savory Pie 1/2 tsp. salt)
1/8 tsp. Baking Powder
8 T. Butter (One Stick)  (Just out of the refrigerator cold)
2 1/2 - 4 T. Ice Water

Mix Flour, Salt, and Baking Powder in a large bowl. Cut in your butter with the flour mixture (you can use 2 knives, a pastry blender, or a mashed potato masher) until it is fairly distributed. Add water a tablespoon at a time, mixing dough with your hands, until it comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough or add too much water. At this point you can either roll it out or put the crust in the fridge for later use!!

I hope you get to try this awesome recipe, and let me know if you try it or have any questions.

Until next time,
Peace Out :)
