Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Brush the melted butter over the top of the dough and sprinkle with minced garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.
- Cut the dough into strips and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, brush with more melted butter if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
- These breadsticks can be frozen before baking; just thaw and bake when ready.
