Ingredients

Scale

Garlic Cheese Topping

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic (about 1 small clove)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

Bread

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs

Accompaniments

  • Dipping sauce of your choice such as marinara, ranch, Caesar dressing, garlic sauce, or spicy aioli

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F), sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy and bubbly to activate the yeast.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Pour the activated yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil and sea salt. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and dried Italian herbs, mixing until well combined and aromatic.
  3. Knead the Dough: Dust the countertop with flour and knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if too sticky, but avoid overdoing it.
  4. Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  5. Shape the Bread: Punch down the risen dough gently. Roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick to prepare for topping.
  6. Add the Cheese Topping: Mix melted butter, garlic powder, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Pecorino Romano cheese, and nutritional yeast in a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
  7. Bake the Bread: Place the dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant.
  8. Slice and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Slice into strips and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • For a sharper cheese flavor, substitute Pecorino Romano for Parmesan as suggested.
  • Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy, perfect for boosting depth.
  • You can store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
  • Try experimenting with different dipping sauces to find your favorite pairing.
