Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

How to Make Cheesy Breadstick with Melty Cheese Center

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
7. Cut the dough into strips, about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
8. Place about 2 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each strip. Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pinch to seal.
9. Arrange the sealed breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped parsley.
11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling out.
12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh mozzarella for an even gooier center.
• Make sure the water is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
• For extra flavor, try adding Italian seasoning to the dough.

Easy Variations

• Herb-Infused: Add dried oregano or basil to the dough for a fragrant twist.
• Spicy: Mix in some crushed red pepper flakes for a kick.
• Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks: Top with extra cheese and garlic before baking for an indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

• Marinara sauce for dipping
• Garlic butter sauce
• A fresh garden salad
• Spicy ranch dressing
