Instructions
Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10
minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive
oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes
until it becomes smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a
warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Shape Dough: Punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large

rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush the garlic
butter mixture over the rolled-out dough.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the dough. If
desired, sprinkle dried Italian herbs on top.
Second Rise: Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes while you preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the
cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before cutting them into strips. Garnish with chopped
fresh parsley and serve warm.
