Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
Description
Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks combine a soft yeast-based dough with a flavorful garlic butter topping and two types of cheese: cheddar and Parmesan. The dough is yeast-leavened and includes warm water and sugar to activate the yeast, resulting in a tender crumb after a brief rise. Dividing the dough into 12 pieces creates individual breadsticks that bake evenly and develop a golden color on top. Brushing them with melted butter blended with minced garlic infuses the breadsticks with a rich garlic flavor, while the cheese adds a savory, slightly sharp finish.
Baked at 400°F, the breadsticks develop a pleasing texture with a lightly crisp crust and soft, chewy centers. Their size and shape make them ideal for dipping or as a side to soups, salads, or pasta dishes. They can be served warm to enjoy the melted cheese fully and the butter’s aroma.
The recipe requires no long fermentation, so the rise is only about 15 minutes before baking, making it approachable for a home cook looking to make fresh breadsticks without extended preparation. The combination of cheeses on top balances richness with a hint of nuttiness from Parmesan.
