Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 quarters cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter alternative

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 9x13 inches.

Step 7

Brush the surface of the dough with melted dairy-free butter alternative.

Step 8

In a bowl, mix the dairy-free shredded cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and nutritional yeast.

Step 9

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough surface.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.

Step 11

Gently twist each strip and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each breadstick.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free cheesy breadsticks as a side or snack!
