Ingredients
Bread
- 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cup water warm
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups flour
Garlic Cheese Topping
- 3 tablespoon butter (melted)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic (finely minced, 1 small clove)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (finely minced, optional)
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Accompaniments
- Dipping Sauce of choice (ex. marinara sauce, ranch, Caesar dressing, garlic sauce, etc.)
Instructions
- Add yeast, water and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let the yeast dissolve until frothy.
- Once the yeast is frothy, add in the oil, salt and flour. Turn mixer on and knead the dough for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, or knead by hand until and firm ball is formed. The dough should be a little sticky. If it is overly sticky then add in a bit more flour.
- Lightly grease or spray a bowl and place dough into the bowl. Cover and leave in a warm area until the dough rises and doubles in size. Approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Turn dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet (ex. pizza tray). Use the palms of your hands to press the dough into a large circle.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1 inch wide breadsticks (approximately 10 - 12 breadsticks), you do not need to push the breadsticks apart, they will bake side by side. Let the sliced dough rest for 10 minutes in a warm place.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is light brown.
- Melt butter with minced garlic, garlic powder and minced parsley.
- Once the breadsticks are baked, brush the melted butter all over the breadsticks. Then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and serve.

Notes
- Use a warm, not hot, liquid to activate the yeast properly.
- Let the dough rest after cutting to ensure the breadsticks hold their shape during baking.
- Choose a dipping sauce that complements the garlic and cheese flavor—marinara and ranch work well.
