I was craving cheesy breadsticks, that is why we are here today! This is essentially a very simple recipe; you can make a delicious homemade pizza dough (see below) or you can use a store bought one (I have not tested this theory!)

Pizza dough is so versatile that you can make breadsticks and a pizza using the same exact dough at the same time. Seriously! Just divide dough into 2 equal portions. Now you can choose to mix this dough by hand or by using a mixer with a dough hook attachment.

Homemade Pizza Dough

• 375g Flour
• 225g Warm water
• 8g Salt
• 6g Yeast

Method by Hand

• Add warm water to yeast just enough to cover, then set aside.
• Make a well in flour, add hydrated yeast mixture, mix enough to cover, add salt, and then add remaining water.
• Mix until dough is formed, then turn on to work surface, knead until the dough is fully developed.
• Rest dough for 30-60 minutes depending on your environment.

Method by Mixer

• Add yeast into the mixing bowl, then add water, followed by flour then salt.
• Mix for 8 minutes on speed 3 and 7 minutes on speed 5. Mix longer if needed.
• Round dough and rest for 30-60 minutes depending on your environment.

Garlic Mixture

• 20g melted butter
• 10g olive oil
• 3 cloves of garlic diced
• 1/2 tsp salt 1tsp garlic powder
• 1/2tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Method

• Mix everything in the bowl together and set aside.

Cheesy Breadsticks

• Take prepared pizza dough. Shape as you would a pizza. Brush with seasoned garlic mixture.
• Top with cheese of your choice, I used a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut into segments.
• Bake for 20 mins at 350F or until golden brown. This all depends on your oven.

Things to Note

• The longer you rest your dough, the more developed it will be, which gives more flavour.
• You can season with your choice seasoning and top with your choice cheese.
