Cheesy Breadsticks Easy (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Breadsticks Base

01 - 1 tbsp garlic powder, optional
02 - 1 tsp sugar
03 - 1 tsp active dry yeast
04 - ½ cup warm water
05 - 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
06 - ¾ tsp salt
07 - 1 tbsp olive oil

→ Cheesy Topping

08 - ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
09 - 1 tsp dried Italian herbs or oregano, optional
10 - 2 tbsp melted butter
11 - 2 cups mozzarella, shredded

# Instructions:

01 - Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy bubbles form.
02 - In a big mixing bowl, combine salt and flour, and whisk them together.
03 - Pour the frothy yeast and the olive oil into the bowl with the dry mix. Stir till it forms a dough.
04 - On a lightly floured spot, knead the dough for 5–7 minutes until it turns smooth and stretchy. Use a stand mixer if you prefer.
05 - Put a damp cloth over the dough and let it take a 15-minute break.
06 - Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prep a baking tray by coating it with oil or laying parchment paper.
07 - Spread out the dough into a 9x13-inch rectangle using a rolling pin on your floured counter.
08 - Grab a knife or pizza cutter and divide the dough into 12 strips.
09 - Lay the dough strips neatly onto the baking sheet.
10 - Coat the top of the strips with melted butter, and sprinkle with garlic powder if you’d like.
11 - Top the strips with loads of mozzarella and a bit of parmesan.
12 - If you'd like, sprinkle dried oregano or some Italian seasoning over the top.
13 - Pop it in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is gooey and bubbly.

# Notes:

01 - Mozzarella ensures a gooey, cheesy pull, while parmesan adds a tangy punch. Olive oil keeps the dough moist with a crunchy finish on the crust.
