Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp warm water 110°F, divided
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter thinly sliced
  • 1 egg yolk lightly beaten
  • ½ cup warm water 110°F, divided
  • marinara sauce for dipping
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, divided
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the yeast with half of the warmed water (heated to 110°F) and set it aside for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, place the thinly sliced butter, sugar, and salt.
  3. Pour the remaining warm water into the butter mixture and allow it to sit while the yeast activates.
  4. After 5 minutes, whisk the butter mixture until somewhat combined.
  5. Add the egg yolk and yeast mixture to the bowl, then stir in the flour until just incorporated.
  6. Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by brushing it with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  7. Spread the dough evenly in the dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  9. Remove the plastic wrap from the dough, brush the top with the remaining melted butter, and generously sprinkle with mozzarella, parmesan, garlic salt, and oregano.
  10. Bake for 28-31 minutes, until the edges are deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  11. Allow the breadsticks to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 even pieces.
  12. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • The dough only needs a 15-minute rest.
  • Other cheeses or dipping sauces can be used and oregano is optional.
  • Refrigerated pizza dough is an alternative, these can be frozen.
  • For added heat, sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
