- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of sugar in 3/4 cup warm water. Add 1 packet of active dry yeast to the sugar water and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
Add 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Lightly oil a bowl, place the kneaded dough in it, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Step 6
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 7
Sprinkle 1 cup of low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the rolled out dough.
Step 8
Fold the dough in half lengthwise so that the cheese is inside, then cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
Step 9
Twist each strip a few times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 10
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning evenly over the breadsticks.
Step 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low fat cheesy breadsticks warm from the oven as a tasty treat!
