Ingredients

For the Breadsticks:

  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Topping:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano

For Serving:

  • ¼ cup honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-7 minutes, until frothy.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
    • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  2. Shape and Pre-Bake:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add the Toppings:
    • Brush the dough with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder and dried oregano evenly over the top.
    • Generously spread mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the dough.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    • Let the breadsticks cool slightly before cutting into strips. Drizzle warm honey over the top just before serving for a touch of sweetness.

    • Tips

      • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
      • These breadsticks pair beautifully with marinara sauce for dipping.
      • If you prefer a stronger honey flavor, consider using flavored honey, such as lavender or hot honey.
