💭 Tips for success
- The pizza dough keeps in the refrigerator for a week. It's so easy my grandson makes his own pizzas and he's just 3. It's fabulous for family movie night!
- Use the pizza dough to make breakfast pizzas with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese.
- Double the baguettes and save half for the fried chicken po' boys. Smear the bread with the leftover garlic butter before making the sandwich. SO good.
- You can add leftover cooked chicken to the bbq macaroni salad to make an awesome lunch salad.
- Fiesta chicken makes an amazing burrito bowl.

I love these 30 minute baguettes! While they're baking mix 1 cup of softened butter, 1 tablespoon garlic, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon garlic salt together. Spread on the bread while hot then slip under the broiler for a few minutes.
