Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 sticks Mozzarella cheese sticks
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions.
Flatten each portion into a rectangle, about 6 inches long and 3 inches wide.
Place one mozzarella cheese stick in the center of the rectangle and fold the dough over it, pinching the edges to fully seal the cheese inside.
Place the stuffed breadsticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the top of the breadsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the breadsticks with grated Parmesan cheese while they are still warm.
Serve the cheese stuffed breadsticks immediately, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
