Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
The key to these breadsticks is a simple, slightly sticky pizza-style dough that bakes up soft and chewy. There's no complicated kneading involved; a stand mixer does most of the work. The dough is spread out right on the parchment paper it bakes on, which makes the whole process really straightforward. A generous layer of garlic butter and two kinds of cheese makes them savory and indulgent.
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/8 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp distilled white vinegar
- 2 cups bread flour
For the Topping
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/4 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in stand mixer bowl. Let rest 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil, salt, and vinegar to bowl.
- Using dough hook, gradually mix in flour on low speed until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise in warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 475°F with pizza stone inside.
- Press dough on parchment paper into 1/3-inch thick rectangle.
