🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Add the warm water, sugar, salt, and olive oil into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer.

2. Add the bread flour and instant yeast on top. Make sure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid initially.

3. Set your bread machine to the ‘Dough’ cycle and start it.

4. When the dough cycle finishes (usually takes 1-1.5 hours), remove the dough from the bread machine and transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Brush the top lightly with melted butter.

7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning evenly over the surface of the dough.

8. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into 12 equal strips lengthwise.

9. Twist each strip gently and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the breadsticks about 1 inch apart.

10. Brush the breadsticks lightly with any remaining melted butter.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Optional: serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.
