Garlic Cheese Breadsticks

Garlic Cheese Breadsticks combine a soft, yeast-leavened bread enriched with vital wheat gluten and dough enhancer, giving them a tender yet chewy texture. The dough is mixed, allowed to rise twice, shaped into sticks, and topped with a garlic butter mixture, dried parsley, and generous mozzarella cheese before baking. The final breadsticks offer a balance of garlicky butter, savory cheese, and a lightly crisp exterior, suitable as a side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Dough:
yeast mixture :
  • 1 cup and 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
flour mixture:
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 & ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ tablespoon vital wheat gluten
  • ½ tablespoon dough enhancer
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Topping:
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons parsley dried
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour 1 cup and 3 tablespoons of water into the Bosch mixer. Then, add 1 tablespoon of yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Turn on the lowest setting (1), to mix them a little bit. Let it wait for 5 minutes. 
  2. While it's waiting, put 3 cups of bread flour, 1 and ¾ teaspoons of salt, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ tablespoon of vital wheat gluten and ½ tablespoons of dough enhancer into a big bowl and mix them well.
  3. After that, turn on the mixer at the lowest setting #1, slowly add the flour mixture into the yeast mixture. When the dough is coming together, increase the higher setting to #3. Let it run for 5 minutes. 
  4. Take the dough out and put it into a bowl and cover with a wet cloth. Let the dough rise for 45 minutes to an hour at room temperature. (My trick to speed up the time for dough rising is to preheat the oven at 200F and turn off. Then, put the dough in the oven covered with a wet cloth and let it rise for 20-30 minutes.)
  5. After, the dough rises double in size. 
  6. Next, divide the dough into 13 pieces. 
  7. Roll the pieces into a long rope shape. 
  8. Put a parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray some oil. Then, lay the rolled dough on the tray and cover with a wet cloth to let them rise again. (My trick to speed up the time for dough rising is to preheat an oven for 200F and turn off. Then, put the dough in the oven covered with a wet cloth and let it rise for 15-30 minutes.)
  9. In the meantime, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave for 20 seconds. Then, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt and mix well. 
  10. The dough rises again and doubles its size. Preheat the oven at 400 F. 
  11. Brush the melted garlic butter from step 9 on the dough.
  12. After, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dried parsley on the dough.
  13. The following, sprinkle one cup of mozzarella cheese on the dough. And, bake them at 400F for 12-16 minutes. (I did it for around 15 minutes.)

Notes

  • Use a stand mixer like Bosch for easier dough mixing and kneading.
  • Proof the dough in a warm oven (preheated to 200°F, then turned off) covered with a wet cloth to speed up rising time.
  • Divide the dough into 13 equal pieces and roll into ropes for consistent breadstick size.
  • Brush the risen dough with melted garlic butter mixture evenly before baking.
  • Bake at 400°F for about 12 to 16 minutes until the cheese is melted and edges are golden.
