Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Cheese Filling
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 small bowl marinara sauce for dipping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, beaten egg, salt, and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour and knead to form a soft dough.
  3. Cover dough and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Divide dough into small portions and roll each into a rope. Shape into bones by pinching small balls at ends and middle.
  6. Slice a shallow slit down each breadstick and stuff with mozzarella and Parmesan. Press edges gently to secure cheese.
  7. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on top.
  8. Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and puffed. Cool slightly before serving.
  9. Garnish with parsley and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Freeze stuffed breadsticks for 5–10 minutes before baking to prevent cheese leaks. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes.
