Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 cup Warm water
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x9 inches.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire surface of the dough.

Step 8

Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise, gently pressing the edges to seal the cheese inside.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 16 even strips.

Step 10

Carefully twist each strip and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each breadstick.

Step 11

Cover the breadsticks with a towel and let them rise for about 15 minutes.

Step 12

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 13

While the breadsticks are baking, melt the butter in a small dish and stir in the garlic powder and dried parsley (if using).

Step 14

Brush the baked breadsticks with the garlic butter immediately after removing them from the oven.

Step 15

Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
