Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a long rope, about 10-12 inches in length. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Brush the top of each breadstick with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and then sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Let the breadsticks cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce or enjoy these cheese breadsticks as they are!
