Ingredients

For the Breadsticks

  • 2 Tablespoons active yeast
  • 2½ cups warm water 110-115°F
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • 6 cups flour plus up to 1 cup extra to form smooth dough
  • ½ cup butter melted, one stick

For the Italian Garlic Seasoning

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Cheese and other toppings

  • 2-3 cups shredded mozzeralla cheese
  • red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

Prepare the Breadstick Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir the yeast in warm water, and then add the sugar. Let this sit for 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
  • Stir in the oil, salt, and flour to form a soft and sticky dough.
  • In the large bowl or on a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding flour if needed, until it's smooth and elastic. I will add 1/2-1 cup more flour depending.
  • Lay out a piece of parchment paper the size of the large rimmed baking sheet pan you're using. Lightly flour the paper, then roll out the dough on the paper, shaping(pulling) it into a rectangle. Then, using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into breadsticks (rectangles) and twist them if desired (a.k.a. make them look fancy and fun). (Using parchment paper is optional. It makes transferring, cutting, and serving the breadsticks easier.)
    Then, pull the parchment paper with the prepared breadsticks onto the rimmed baking sheet.

Make the Italian Garlic Seasoning

  • In a cereal bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients with a fork.

Bake the Breadsticks

  • Brush the melted butter on the breadstick dough on the rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the garlic seasoning on and top it with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake homemade breadsticks in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the breadsticks cool for a few minutes before eating. Dip them in your favorite marinara sauce. Enjoy!
