Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Activate the Yeast (Skip if using Instant Yeast)

• In a small bowl, mix ½ tsp sugar, ½ tsp yeast, and ¼ cup warm water.
• Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
• (Skip this step if you’re using instant yeast — just add it directly to the flour.)

Step 2: Make the Dough

• In a mixing bowl, add:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• Activated yeast mixture
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Knead into a soft, pliable dough. Add a little water if it feels dry.
• Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Cover the bowl and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 3: Make Garlic Butter

• In a small bowl, combine:
• 2 tbsp softened butter
• Finely minced garlic
• Chopped parsley or coriander
• Chili flakes (optional)
• Mix well and set aside.

---

Step 4: Shape the Breadsticks

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
• Punch the dough to release air and roll it into a rectangle (about ½ inch thick).
• Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper or greased.

---

Step 5: Apply Garlic Butter & Cheese

• Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the dough surface.
• Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese (and a little processed cheese if using).
• Add oregano or mixed herbs, chili flakes on top.
• Use a knife or pizza cutter to lightly score the dough into breadstick shapes (don’t cut all the way).

---

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

• Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
• Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before slicing along the score lines.

---

Step 7: Serve Hot!

• Serve warm with marinara sauce, pizza dip, or enjoy as is.
• Brush with extra garlic butter for a glossy, flavorful finish.

Chef’s Notes & Cooking Tips

• Use warm water (not hot!) to activate yeast — around 105–110°F (40–43°C). Hot water can kill the yeast.
• For ultra-soft breadsticks, add 1 tbsp milk or yogurt to the dough — it adds moisture and richness.
• Kneading is key: Spend 6–8 minutes kneading to get a soft, elastic dough that rises well.
• If your kitchen is cold, let the dough rise near a warm oven or wrap the bowl in a warm towel.
• Don’t overload with cheese — too much will make the bread greasy and heavy.
• Score the dough before baking to make pulling apart the sticks easier later.
• You can also air fry them at 180°C for 12–15 mins (if rolled slightly thinner).
• Brush with extra garlic butter after baking for that signature Domino’s finish.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve these cheesy garlic breadsticks fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey and melty.
• Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces like:
• Classic marinara sauce
• Spicy pizza dip
• Creamy ranch or garlic mayo
• Cheese dip for extra indulgence
• Add it as a side dish to homemade pizza, pasta, or soup for a full Italian-inspired meal.
• Slice them into mini strips and serve as party appetizers or on a snack board.
• Want to get fancy? Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
