Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
These homemade breadsticks feature a soft, yeasted dough enriched with cheddar cheese. After rising, the sticks are shaped, brushed with a garlic-infused butter, and rolled in a savoury mix of more cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and sesame seeds before baking. They emerge golden and delicious, ideal for serving a crowd. The recipe yields about 32 sticks, perfect for a party or family snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
- 1 lb bread flour
- 1/4 cup powdered milk
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
Method
- Warm the water to 105-110 degrees farenhight, then stir in the yeast and allow it to proof.
- Put the bread flour, powdered milk, sugar, and olive oil into a mixing bowl.
- Divide the 1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese equally. Mix one portion into the flour bowl and keep the other portion aside.
- Transfer the flour mixture and the proofed yeast to a stand mixer. Knead using the low setting for 5-8 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and leave it to rise for 1 hour.
- Combine the reserved cheddar cheese with the 1/4 cup of grated parmesan. Stir in the panko breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, and salt, then set this mixture aside.
- Mix the melted butter with the minced garlic in another bowl. Leave it to stand for at least 30 minutes so the flavours meld.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, divide it into 32 pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape.
- Use a pastry brush to coat one breadstick with the garlic butter. Then roll it thoroughly in the prepared cheese and breadcrumb mixture.
- Put the coated breadstick on a baking tray and repeat the process with all the remaining dough pieces.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 11-12 minutes, until they turn a golden brown colour.
