Ingredients
For the Breadsticks:
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon sugar
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
½ cup warm water
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder (optional)
For the Topping:
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add the olive oil and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, then cover it and let it rise for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Roll the Dough: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape.
-
Top the Breadsticks: Brush the dough with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder (optional), mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese. Add oregano or Italian seasoning if desired.
-
Bake: Bake the breadsticks for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
-
Serve: Let the breadsticks cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes on top before baking for a bit of heat.
-
You can use store-bought pizza dough if you’re short on time.
-
The garlic powder is optional but highly recommended for that classic garlic bread flavor.
