Ingredients
    For the Dough
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • ¾ cup warm milk (around 40°C)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
    • For the Cheese Filling
  • 1 cup ½ mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese (optional, grated)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
    • For Brushing & Topping
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried parsley or oregano
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan-style cheese (optional)
Instructions
    Prepare the Dough
  1. 1
    In a large mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and instant yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until slightly foamy. Add flour, salt, and oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
    2. First Rise
  2. 2
    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let it rest in a warm place for 40–45 minutes or until doubled in size.
    3. Prepare the Cheese Filling
  3. 3
    In a bowl, mix mozzarella, cheddar (if using), garlic powder, and oregano. Set aside.
    4. Shape the Breadsticks
  4. 4
    Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a small rectangle. Place cheese filling in the center, fold the dough over it, and seal the edges tightly. Roll gently into breadstick shapes.
    5. Second Rest
  5. 5
    Place the stuffed breadsticks on a lined baking tray, leaving space between them. Cover lightly and rest for 10 minutes.
    6. Brush & Season
  6. 6
    Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush generously over the breadsticks. Sprinkle with parmesan-style cheese if desired.
    7. Bake
  7. 7
    Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
    8. Serve
  8. 8
    Remove from the oven and brush with a little more butter while warm. Serve immediately for best cheese pull.
Note

Use cheese to avoid animal rennet issues.

For extra flavor, add chili flakes or black pepper to the cheese filling.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

Reheat in the oven at 170°C for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.

Dough can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.
