Baking sheet or pizza stone

Parchment paper

Tips for Success

Use bread flour for extra chewy texture. Let the dough rise fully for light and fluffy breadsticks. Bake on a preheated stone or steel for a crisp bottom. Don’t skimp on the cheese for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup warm water

2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

2½ cups all-purpose or bread flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Optional: grated Parmesan for topping

Directions

In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll the dough out on a parchment-lined baking sheet into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder, herbs, and cheese. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then slice into breadsticks.

Additional Tips or Variations

Add pepperoni or jalapeños for a spicy twist. Use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor. Serve with marinara, ranch, or garlic butter dipping sauce. Add a sprinkle of sea salt or red pepper flakes after baking for a flavor boost.
