Easy Cheese Breadsticks Recipe (Page 2 ) | July 16, 2025

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, sift flour and salt together.

Make a well in the center, add yeast, warm milk, melted butter, and egg.

Whisk liquids together first, then gradually incorporate flour.

💡 Tip: Use warm milk (~37°C/98°F) to activate the yeast without killing it.

Step 2: Knead and Rest

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

💡 Pro tip: Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot or in a turned-off warm oven.

Step 3: Shape and Layer

Punch down the dough, divide into 4 balls.

Roll each into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Brush 2 rectangles with softened butter, sprinkle with cheese and parsley.

Top with remaining rectangles to sandwich the filling.

💡 Tip: Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar, parmesan, or gouda for extra flavor.

Step 4: Twist the Breadsticks

Lightly press the layered dough with a rolling pin.

Slice into 1-inch wide strips.

Twist each strip into a spiral and brush with softened butter.

💡 Tip: Twist tightly for better shape and even cheese distribution.

Step 5: Proof and Bake

Place twisted strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Let rest for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Brush with egg wash.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Let cool slightly before serving.

Brush with melted butter if desired.

🍽 Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with marinara sauce or garlic butter. Pairs well with soups and salads.
