# Ingredients:
→ For the Breadsticks
01 -
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
03 -
¾ teaspoon salt
04 -
1 teaspoon sugar
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
½ cup warm water
07 -
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
→ For the Topping
08 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
09 -
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
10 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
11 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add olive oil and activated yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or use a stand mixer with a dough hook. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Roll the dough into a 9×13-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into 12 strips.
03 -
Arrange the dough strips on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder if desired. Generously sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese over the dough strips. Add dried oregano or Italian seasoning for extra flavor, if preferred.
04 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown with melted, bubbly cheese. Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispy crust, brush the breadsticks with olive oil before baking.
02 -
Roll the dough out evenly to ensure equal baking and consistency.
03 -
Add your choice of toppings, such as red pepper flakes or beef bacon bits, for personalized flavor.
