01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
02 -
¾ teaspoon salt
03 -
1 teaspoon sugar
04 -
½ cup warm water
05 -
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
06 -
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
07 -
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
→ Ingredients for Topping
08 -
1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
09 -
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
10 -
2 tablespoons butter, melted
11 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl. Give it about 5-10 minutes to foam up. In a big mixing bowl, stir in the flour and salt. Pour in the olive oil and yeast mixture, mixing until it forms dough. Move the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and stretchy. If you're using a stand mixer, a dough hook makes this easier. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for around 15 minutes.
02 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get a baking sheet ready with olive oil or parchment paper. Roll the dough out to about 9×13 inches on a floured surface. With a knife or pizza cutter, cut it into 12 even strips.
03 -
Lay the dough strips on the baking sheet. Brush butter over the top, sprinkle garlic powder (if you like), and layer on mozzarella and parmesan cheese. For a hint of extra flavor, sprinkle dried oregano or Italian seasoning on top.
04 -
Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the breadsticks are nicely golden and the cheese has melted beautifully.
05 -
Give the breadsticks a couple of minutes to cool after baking. Slice them up and enjoy with marinara or any dipping sauce you love.
# Notes:
01 -
Mozzarella creates creamy, gooey goodness, while parmesan kicks in a tangy sharpness that balances out the flavors.
02 -
Garlic powder and oregano are totally optional, but they really amp up the flavor if added!
