Dough Ingredients

Cheese Topping

Marinara Sauce

Method

Preparing the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic powder. Make a well in the center and add activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preparing Cheese Topping

  1. 5

    Mix Cheese Topping

    In a small bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and black pepper. Set aside.

Making Marinara Sauce

  1. 6

    Cook Marinara Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 7

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 8

    Cut Dough into Sticks

    Cut the dough into small sticks or desired shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 9

    Add Cheese Topping

    Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the cut dough sticks.

  4. 10

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and the breadsticks are golden brown.

  5. 11

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
