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
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.
In a large bowl, place the thinly sliced butter, sugar, and salt.
Pour the remaining warm water into the butter mixture and allow it to sit while the yeast activates.
After 5 minutes, whisk the butter mixture until somewhat combined.
Add the egg yolk and yeast mixture to the bowl, then stir in the flour until just incorporated.
Prepare a 9×13 baking dish by brushing it with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
Spread the dough evenly in the dish, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
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.
Bake for 28-31 minutes, until the edges are deep golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Allow the breadsticks to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 even pieces.
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.
