Papa John's Pizza
Dipping Sauces
John Schnatter was only 23 years when he used $1600 of start-up money to buy a pizza oven and have it installed in the broom closet of an Indiana tavern. John started delivering his hot, fresh pizzas; and in 1984, the first year of his business, he sold 300-400 pizzas a week. One year later, he opened the first Papa John's restaurant, and has become an American success story. Today the company has expanded to over 1600 locations in 14 states and has revenues of $620 million a year. That puts John's business in the top three of all restaurant chains in overall sales growth, and the countries fastest growing pizza chain.
John has kept the Papa John's menu simple. You won't find salads or subs or chicken wings on his menu. The company just sells pizza, with side orders of breadsticks and cheesesticks made from the same pizza dough recipe. With each order of breadsticks or cheesesticks comes your choice of dipping sauces. This week we present clones for all three of those tasty sauces. You can use these easy clones as dips for a variety of products, or you simply make your own breadsticks by baking your favorite pizza dough, then slicing it into sticks. If you want cheesesticks, just brush some of the Garlic Sauce on the dough, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake. Slice the baked dough into sticks and use the dipping sauce of your choice. It's a cinch.

1 cup bread flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

(You may use all-purpose flour only for this recipe)
Bread machine: Add ingredients to machine bread pan in order given or as per manufacturer's instructions. Set to 'dough' mode.
Food processor:
Place water, sugar, salt and olive oil in bowl of food processor and pulse to dissolve sugar and salt. Add yeast, bread flour and all purpose flour. Process until a soft ball forms. Remove from machine and allow to rest, covered with a tea towel, about 45 minutes.
Dough hook:
Place water, sugar, salt and olive oil in bowl of mixer and dissolve sugar and salt. Stir in yeast, bread flour and all purpose flour and knead with dough hook to form a soft, but not-too sticky dough (about 8 minutes). Remove from machine and allow to rest, covered with a tea towel about 45 minutes.
By Hand:
In this case, use only all-purpose flour. Place water, sugar, salt and olive oil in bowl and dissolve sugar and salt. Stir in yeast, all purpose flour and knead to form a soft, but not-too sticky dough (about 8-l0 minutes). Allow to rest, covered with a tea towel about 45 minutes.
(*) For a breadier pizza dough - depending on taste and recipe requirements, you can add an additional 1/4 tsp. yeast.
Deflate dough very gently before using and allow it to rest a further 15 minutes before using in a recipe. You may refrigerate dough in an oiled plastic bag for up to two days.
