Cheese Garlic Breadsticks

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

3. Roll out the dough:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle or desired shape about 1/2-inch thick.
Place the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

4. Make the garlic butter:

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder (if using), and parsley. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the dough, making sure to cover the entire surface.

5. Add the cheese:

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Follow with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

6. Bake:

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

7. Serve:

Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Slice into strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Tips:
Add herbs: Feel free to sprinkle more herbs such as oregano or basil on top for extra flavor.
Cheese variations: You can use a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, or even add some provolone or Italian blend cheese for variety.
Make it ahead: The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.
Dipping sauce: Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even garlic butter for dipping.
These Cheese Garlic Breadsticks are cheesy, buttery, and full of flavor. They’re easy to make, and perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes or just as a delicious snack on their own!
