APPLEBEE'S PIZZA STICKS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F 2. Prepare dipping sauce by mixing marinara ingredients in a small, uncovered saucepan and bringing mixture to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer sauce for 1/2 hour. (The sauce kept refrigerated for several days) 3. Prepare pizza sticks by first proofing the dough. Unroll the dough onto cutting board and straighten the edges. It should form rectangle that is longer from left to right than top to bottom. With a sharp knife/pizza cutter, slice through the middle of the dough lengthwise. This will divide the rectangle into ttwo thinner rectangles that will measure 4 to 5 inches from top to bottom. 4. Slice the dough from top to bottom into 1.5-inch-wide pieces. You should have somewhere between 20 and 24 dough slices. 5. Place the slices onto a greased cookie sheet about 1/2 inch apart and bake for 3 minutes. You may have to use more than one cookie sheet. This will proof the dough so that it becomes stiff. 6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Oil should be at least 1/2 inch deep if using a stovetop pan. You will want to use more oil with a deep fryer. 7. Fry pizza sticks 5 to 6 at a time for about 1 minute per side or until they are a dark golden brown. Remove them from the oil unto a cloth or paper towel to drain. 8. When all the pizza dough sticks are fried, arrange them once again on the cookie sheet(s). You may want to line the cookie sheets with foil to make cleanup easier. Preheat the broiler. 9. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. 10. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the mozzarella. 11. Combine the oregano, basil, caraway seeds, and garlic salt in a small bowl. If your oregano and basil are fairly coarse, grind the spice up a little, making it a finer blend. 12. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the cheese. 13. Broil the pizza sticks for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve hot with dipping sauce on the side.
