Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Topping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the breadsticks.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt, ensuring even distribution.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the warm water and olive oil, then mix everything together until a dough starts to form.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangular shape and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the butter and combine it with the minced garlic and dried oregano to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Brush Garlic Butter: Generously brush the garlic butter mixture over the surface of the dough, spreading evenly for maximum flavor.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the garlic-buttered dough.
- Bake Breadsticks: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice into sticks and serve warm to enjoy the gooey, savory goodness.
Notes
- Use warm water (not hot) to activate the yeast without killing it.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra oregano or red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- Make sure to knead the dough well to develop gluten for a soft, chewy texture.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously to ensure flavorful crust and toppings.
- You can substitute mozzarella with other melting cheeses like provolone or cheddar if desired.
- Serve these breadsticks as a side for pasta dishes, soups, or salads.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
