Steps:
- Pour warm water into a bowl. Add yeast. Using a whisk, whisk completely to dissolve yeast. Set aside for about 5 minutes, or until yeast activates.
- Add 1 cup flour, all the salt, and the olive oil. Mix well. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until dough is soft and springy. Dough should turn into a ball. If dough is too dry, add a very small amount of water. If it's too wet, add a very small amount of flour.
- Place dough on a floured board and cover with a dry towel. Allow to sit until ball doubles in size.
- Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll into balls and again allow to rise. If you are not using the dough immediately, wrap each ball with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Once ready to use, unwrap ball and bring to room temperature.
- Place dough on floured board. Using hands, flatten dough and spread out to form a circle.
- Top with desired ingredients.
- Bake at 550 degrees for 5-6 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Steps:
- This is a fantastic, reliable, everyday pizza dough, which can also be used to make bread. It's best made with Italian Tipo "00" flour, which is finer ground than normal flour, and it will give your dough an incredible super-smooth texture. Look for it in Italian markets and good supermarkets. If using white bread flour instead, make sure it's a strong one that's high in gluten, as this will transform into a lovely, elastic dough, which is what you want. Mix in some semolina flour for a bit of color and flavor if you like.
- Sift the flours and salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the middle. In a large measuring cup, mix the yeast, sugar and olive oil into the water and leave for a few minutes, then pour into the well. Using a fork, bring the flour in gradually from the sides and swirl it into the liquid. Keep mixing, drawing larger amounts of flour in, and when it all starts to come together, work the rest of the flour in with your clean, flour-dusted hands. Knead until you have a smooth, springy dough.
- Place the ball of dough in a large flour-dusted bowl and flour the top of it. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and place in a warm room for about 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
- Now remove the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead it around a bit to push the air out with your hands - this is called punching down the dough. You can either use it immediately, or keep it, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the fridge (or freezer) until required. If using straightaway, divide the dough up into as many little balls as you want to make pizzas - this amount of dough is enough to make about six to eight medium pizzas.
- Timing-wise, it's a good idea to roll the pizzas out about 15 to 20 minutes before you want to cook them. Don't roll them out and leave them hanging around for a few hours, though - if you are working in advance like this it's better to leave your dough, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator. However, if you want to get them rolled out so there's 1 less thing to do when your guests are round, simply roll the dough out into rough circles, about 1/4-inch thick, and place them on slightly larger pieces of olive-oil-rubbed and flour-dusted aluminum foil. You can then stack the pizzas, cover them with plastic wrap, and pop them into the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in bread Machine on dough setting.
- Then, roll it out into a log and divide it into 16 pieces. (I can normally only get about 12) Roll these pieces into cigar-shaped sticks of bread. Arrange on a baking sheet.
- Cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400*F. Use your brush to butter each stick, saving some butter for later. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
- Cook for 15 minutes. Remove, then brush twice more and add another sprinkling of kosher salt and a light sprinkle of garlic powder. Tada! Olive Garden breadsticks.
- For Pizza Hut:.
- mix: 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp italian seasoning 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Then shake these onto your breadsticks to your liking (don't overpower the sticks though) For Cheesesticks Sprinkle shredded mozzarella onto the tops, then pop under the broiler until the cheese bubbles and burns a bit.

Tips:
- Use warm water (105-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
- Add a little sugar to the water to help the yeast grow. Sugar is a food source for yeast, so it will help it to multiply and produce more carbon dioxide gas.
- Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Kneading the dough will develop the gluten, which will make it strong and chewy.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the dough to rise.
- Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Conclusion:
Olive Garden pizza dough is a delicious and versatile dough that can be used to make a variety of pizzas. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time. With a few simple tips, you can make Olive Garden pizza dough that is just as good as the pizza you get at the restaurant.
