Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the Dough
- 250 grams plain flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 180 millilitres milk or water, lukewarm
Ingredients for Coating
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 120 grams cheese, shredded
Methods
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
2. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of plain flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 180 millilitres of milk or water. Using a spatula, stir until the dough comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it is too dry, add a splash of milk.
Once the dough comes together, knead it by hand for about a minute. Then roll it out into a rectangle about 1 cm (½”) thick.
3. Prepare the Coating
In a mixing bowl, combine 60 grams of melted unsalted butter, 3 minced cloves of garlic, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
4. Spread the Topping
Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a finger’s width of space around the edges. Top with 120 grams of shredded cheese.
5. Bake
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
6. Serve
Serve the Garlic Cheese Breadsticks warm, with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavour and a pop of colour.
Tips for Perfect Garlic Cheese Breadsticks
Here are some tips to make your Garlic Cheese Breadsticks even more delicious:
Use a Mixer: Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment can make the process go more smoothly.
Cover with Foil: If the breadsticks turn golden brown before the centre is fully cooked, cover them lightly with foil to prevent burning.
Extra Crunch: For a crunchy base, sprinkle some extra cheese directly onto the baking tray before placing the dough on top. A cheesy, slightly crispy layer forms on the bottom.
Variations
Spicy Kick: For a spicy twist, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños over the cheese.
Mozzarella and Parmesan Mix: Try a mix of Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for extra flavour. The Mozzarella melts wonderfully, while the Parmesan provides a bold, tangy flavour.
Pesto Swirls: Before spreading the garlic mixture, spread a thin layer of pesto over the dough for a rich, herbal flavour.
