Cheese Stuffed (garlic) Breadsticks

These Cheese Stuffed (garlic) Breadsticks are literally out of this world. They might even be one of my fan-favorite recipes?!

I tested them out for the first time using a Homemade Pizza Dough as the base for the breadsticks. We were having dinner at my sister-in-laws house and when the last one was left we all weren’t sure who should take it- should we split it 6 ways?! They were just that good! My sister in law even said they are her favorite recipe of mine. 

They are basically a pull apart bread from heaven, filled with mozzarella and brushed with an addictive garlic and herb mixture.

Prep Time 1 hr

Cook Time 15 mins

Servings 12 breadsticks

Ingredients

  

Pizza Dough

• 2 3/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1 Tbs sugar
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 cup plus 1 Tbs warm water
• 12 mozzarella cheese sticks/ one bag of shredded cheese of your choice

Topping:

• 50 gram melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 Tbs fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

 

Pizza Dough

• Add all ingredients to a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, or mix by hand.

  Mix on medium speed for 7 minutes(or knead by hand) until the dough is smooth and easy to work with. The dough will be tacky, do not add flour.

  Oil the mixing bowl, place dough back in, cover and spray the top with spray oil or brush with oil.

  let rest for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 f/ 230 c.
• Lightly flour your work surface.
• Divide pizza dough into 12 equal pieces. If you want to be precise, weigh each dough ball to 60 gram each.
• Working one at a time, roll or press each ball of dough out into a circle shape about 4 inches wide. Place in the centre one mozzarella stick or sprinkle over a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheese. Tightly roll up the dough around the cheese stick/shredded cheese.
• Place into a 9’13 inch pan fitted with parchment paper. There will be 2 rows of 6 breadsticks.
• Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the topping- melt butter(microwave for 30 seconds), and add spices, mix to combine well.
• Remove the plastic wrap and brush the tops of the rolls with half of the garlic butter, or simply spoon it over, covering all the tops of the rolls.
• Place in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden.
• While hot, brush with remaining garlic butter. Enjoy hot.

Notes

**The cheese sticks give these a super cheesy filling. If you like garlic sticks that have more of a hint of cheese, use a half tablespoon of shredded cheese, sprinkle it over the dough, and then roll it up deli roll style, which distributes the cheese more evenly.
