Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

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

Step 5

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Melt the butter and mix it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Brush this mixture generously over the rolled-out dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the dough, reaching all the edges.

Step 8

Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into breadstick-sized strips (about 1 inch wide). Do not separate the strips yet; they will bake together and stay soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm as a snack or a side dish with your favorite marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter for dipping.
