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.
