Cheese-stuffed breadsticks Recipe

Italian-American · Appetizer · 35 min total

These homemade cheese-stuffed breadsticks are soft, cheesy, and perfect as an appetizer or side dish. The gooey mozzarella center makes them irresistible.

Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
• 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 sticks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope.
3. Press a mozzarella stick into the center of each rope, then pinch the dough around the cheese to seal completely, forming a breadstick shape.
4. Place breadsticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Top with Parmesan cheese.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve warm with marinara sauce.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Leftover breadsticks can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
• If using homemade dough, ensure it is well-proofed for a lighter texture.
