Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water (110°F)
1 packet (2¼ tsp) active dry yeast
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1–2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Activate the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then stir until combined.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, roll it out into a rectangle about half an inch thick, and cut into strips.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place breadsticks on parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with cheese and Italian seasoning, then bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
