Description
Delicious and cheesy garlic breadsticks, perfect for dipping in marinara sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (thinly sliced)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water (110°F, divided)
- 1 egg yolk (lightly beaten)
- 1 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted, divided)
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- for dipping marinara sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with remaining warm water, sugar, salt, butter slices, egg yolk, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Brush with half of the melted butter.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the dough, then fold the dough over to enclose the cheese and press edges lightly.
- Cut dough into sticks, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining melted butter, and sprinkle with parmesan, garlic salt, and oregano.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the water is warm but not hot to keep the yeast active.
- For a garlic butter variation, mix minced garlic into the melted butter before brushing on the dough.
