There are only a few things that go into this copycat recipe, and if you cook a lot, you may already have some of the needed items at home. First, you will need sugar and a packet of active dry yeast, which will help your dough rise. In addition, the recipe calls for some warm water, which you already have at home. Shoutout to easy ingredients, right?

The recipe also calls for oil, salt, and flour. To complete your recipe list, add unsalted butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. Once you have everything together, it's time to begin.

First, take out a stand mixer. In the bowl, add the sugar, yeast, and water. You can simply use a spoon to mix everything and make sure it's combined. Let everything sit in the bowl for about five minutes. Keep an eye on the mix to see if bubbles come up to the surface — this means the yeast is living.

After five minutes, add the oil, salt, and flour. Use the dough hook attachment to re-mix everything to combine. Now, it should start to look more like dough rather than a liquid. Knead the whole mix again for about five more minutes.

Once the bread is kneaded, it is ready to move on to the next step. Remove the dough from the stand mixer, and place it in a large greased bowl. Then, let it rest at room temperature for about an hour.

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, get out a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper. Using your hands, gently press down the dough so it's flat. Then, cut the dough into one-inch-thick strips. They should start to look more like breadsticks and less like flatbread now.

Now, it's time to separate every other strip. Place the other strips on a second baking sheet lined that's with parchment paper. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes.

Once your timer goes off after 10 minutes, pop both baking sheets in the oven. This time, set your timer for 15 minutes. As the breadsticks bake, take out a microwave-safe dish and melt the butter. Next, stir in the garlic powder. This is the yummy liquid that goes on top of the breadsticks.

When your timer goes off, take the breadsticks out of the oven. Then, using a brush, put garlic butter on the top of each breadstick, followed by Parmesan. The butter will make the Parmesan stick to the bread and provide that Little Caesars-like experience you're going for.

Now, it's time to enjoy the breadsticks. You can use your favorite dip, but a few options are marinara and ranch. If you have leftovers, don't worry — they'll keep for a bit. "These are best stored in a plastic bag at room temperature for up to seven days," Carli says. "You do not need to reheat leftovers, but if you want them warm, I would bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about five minutes until they're warmed through."
