Cheese Breadsticks Recipe

Cheese Breadsticks Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil. Add the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare the Cheese Mixture

   In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.

4. 4

   Shape the Breadsticks

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide. Place the strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. 5

   Add the Cheese Topping

   Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the breadstick strips. Brush the melted butter over the cheese.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then cut into individual breadsticks and serve warm.
