Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of warm water
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 packet of active dry yeast
- 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of warm water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 packet of active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the breadsticks.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the breadsticks are baking, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
- Once the breadsticks are done, drizzle the garlic butter mixture over them. Serve warm and enjoy!
