How to Make Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks
  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow this mixture to foam for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the foamy mixture. Mix until you form a soft dough.
  3. On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and press or roll it into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the shaped dough.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the dough.
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the breadsticks for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
