Easy Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks Recipe

These breadsticks are made from a simple dough topped with garlic butter and a generous layer of cheese. They bake to golden perfection in about 20 minutes and serve as a delicious snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Make Dough: Add olive oil, 2 1/2 cups flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, adding more flour if necessary.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, and oregano.
Shape Breadsticks: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle. Cut into strips and place on a greased baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Brush the garlic butter mixture over the breadsticks and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
