Cooking tips for how to make garlic cheesy breadsticks from scratch:

Recommend to use a Bosch mixer it will be easier.
Let the yeast mixture wait for 5 minutes.
Then, add the flour mixture slowly into yeast mixture and let the dough mix for 5 minutes.
Let the dough rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature. My trick is to preheat oven for 200F and turn off. Then, put the dough in the oven cover with a wet cloth and let it rises for 20-30 minutes. It’s faster, so don’t need to wait too long.
Divide the dough into 13 pieces and rolls into a long rope shape.
Put a parchment paper on a cookie sheet and spray some oil. Lay the long rope shaped dough on the tray cover with a wet cloth and let it rise for 15-30 minutes. (I preheated the oven for 200F and turn off. Then, let them rise in the oven again.)
Melt butter in microwave for 20 seconds and mix salt and garlic powder.
After the dough rising, brush melted garlic butter, sprinkle with dried parsley and mozzarella cheese.
Preheat for 400 F and bake for 12-16 minutes. (I did around 15 minutes)

FAQs:

Do I have to add vital wheat gluten and dough enhancer?

Personally, I suggest to add them. It really does make the dough texture different and the breadsticks are soft and fluffy.

Can I use regular flour?

I still recommend to use bread flour if possible. In general, I prefer and like to use bread flour for breads. It does make the breads taste delicious.

Can I use other herbs?

Yes, you can use other dried herbs. I used dried parsley in this recipe.
