Serve: These breadsticks are best served warm, straight from the oven. Serve with marinara sauce or a side of creamy ranch for dipping, or enjoy them as a savory side to your main dish.
Storage: Store any leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for the best texture.
Freezing: You can freeze leftover breadsticks. Let them cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
Variants:
Herb-Infused Cheese-Garlic Breadsticks: Add a teaspoon of dried oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning to the dough for a herby twist. Fresh thyme or rosemary can also be sprinkled on top with the garlic and cheese for added flavor.
Cheese-Stuffed Breadsticks: For a cheesy surprise, roll the dough into strips, then place small cubes of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend) inside each strip before baking. Pinch the edges closed to seal the cheese inside.
Spicy Cheese-Garlic Breadsticks: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter or sprinkle them on top of the breadsticks for an extra kick.
FAQ:
Can I use a different type of cheese? Yes! Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, Gouda, or a blend of mozzarella and provolone for a richer flavor.
Can I make these breadsticks without yeast? While yeast gives the breadsticks their soft texture, you can substitute the yeast with baking powder for a quicker, no-rise version. The texture will be more biscuit-like but still delicious.
Can I prepare these breadsticks in advance? Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time. After kneading, cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight. The next day, let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking.
Can I use store-bought pizza dough? Yes, store-bought pizza dough is a great shortcut for this recipe. Just roll it out, shape it into breadsticks, and follow the rest of the recipe as usual.
