How to make it

  • Slice bread into 1-1/2 inch slices, cutting to bottom of loaf but not through it. Turn bread one quater turn, then slice bread again into 1-1/2 inch slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaf, forming breadsticks that are attached to the bottom crust. ( The loaf should look like the popular onion flower appetizer.) Carefully place loaf on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.
  • Melt butter in small saucepan, and stir in onion and garlic. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and dried basil. drizzle the butter mixture evenly between breadsticks and over top of loaf, then sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake in preheated400 F. oven for 20 minutes. Then unwrap the loaf and bake for another 10-20 minutes until cheese and bread begins to brown.
  • To serve, pull apart breadsticks. Makes 24 sticks.
