Breadsticks
Method
Preparation
Make the Dough
In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic powder, and Italian herbs. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
Let the Dough Rise
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Shape the Breadsticks
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into strips (about 1 inch wide).
Add Cheese and Pepperoni
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and place pepperoni slices on top of each strip. Roll them up gently to enclose the filling.
Bake
Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
