Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  5. Add Cheese and Bake: Place breadsticks on a greased baking sheet, sprinkle with cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy with dips like marinara sauce or garlic butter.
