Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
Add olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder to the yeast mixture and stir well.
Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, about 1 cup at a time, mixing well until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air bubbles. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush the surface of the dough with melted unsalted butter.
Sprinkle the low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Additionally, sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, and freshly ground black pepper over the cheese.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide.
Place the strips onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Twist each strip slightly for a spiral effect or leave as flat strips, depending on your preference.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best flavor.
