Cheesy Breadsticks

For these breadsticks I used my favorite standby bread recipe that's listed under the breads section and is probably one of my first posts in this section, "Milk and Honey Bread".  I mix this up in my bread machine under the dough setting and then do lots of different things with it as you've seen. So to get started on these yummy breadsticks throw together the ingredients listed below.

 

What you need:

1 1/8 cups milk

3 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 cups flour (for these breadsticks I did all three cups white flour)

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

 

These you will need later as you put together the bread sticks:

about 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

2 tablespoons butter melted

Garlic salt and Italian seasonings or dried parsley

 

What to do:

1. Divide dough into two even pieces.

2. Take one section and roll out onto pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray.

(This will be a pretty thin piece of dough)

3.  Sprinkle with as much cheese as you'd like in your breadsticks.  I used about 1 to 1/2 cups shredded cheese, whatever you have on hand should work fine.

 

 

4. Roll other half of dough on counter, roll into circle shape the same size as the dough with cheese already on the pizza pan(dust counter lightly with flour to prevent sticking).

5.  Place second circle of dough on top of the first layer of dough that was sprinkled with cheese,

then gently pinch the edges together all the way around the circle.

6.  Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, grated parmesan and add a little crumbled dried parsley or if you want an Italian twist to it sprinkle with Italian seasonings.

 7.  Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

After these are done baking, I cut the circle in half and then all the way across into about 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick bread sticks.  This makes about 24 bread sticks.

 

These go great with any soup or can be good by themselves dipped in Alfredo sauce, ranch, or marinara.  I hope you enjoy these as much as we do at our house.  They always disappear fast.
