Description
Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks: A Delicious Twist to Try!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide. Place a tablespoon of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese at one end of each strip.
- Fold the dough over the cheese and pinch the edges to seal. Roll the stuffed breadsticks slightly to ensure they are sealed.
- Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese filling.
- Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for varied flavors.
