Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix well using a wooden spoon until a sticky batter forms. Do not knead.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the batter rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Step 5

Transfer the risen batter into the prepared baking dish. Use damp hands or a silicone spatula to spread the batter evenly to the edges of the dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the batter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the top of the cheese-covered batter.

Step 8

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 9

Remove the breadsticks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan for about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the breadsticks into 12 strips. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with marinara sauce, a side of soup, or alongside your favorite Italian meal.
