Scale
For the Dough
- 1 batch Greek yogurt dough (see notes for alternatives)
For the Topping
- 1/4 cup butter (or olive oil)
- 3 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside. - Prepare the Dough:
Combine the Greek yogurt with flour to form a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a rough rectangular shape. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking tray. - Brush the Dough:
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the top of the dough with melted butter or olive oil, covering the entire surface. - Prepare the Garlic Mixture:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or olive oil) with minced garlic. Brush this mixture generously over the top of the dough, ensuring to leave a half-inch border around the edges. - Add Toppings:
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the dough, followed by Italian seasoning for added flavor. - Bake the Breadsticks:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted. - Slice and Serve:
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more Italian seasoning if desired. Use a pizza cutter to slice the baked dough into breadsticks. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
Notes
- Alternative dough:ย You can substitute the Greek yogurt dough with 1 pound of any pizza dough of your choice.
- Storage Tips:
- Refrigeration:ย Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Freezing:ย Wrap cooled breadsticks in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating:ย Reheat in a preheated oven at 350ยฐF for 8-10 minutes or in an air fryer at 375ยฐF for 5-6 minutes. Microwaving is also an option but wonโt yield crispy results.
- Make it vegan:ย Use coconut Greek yogurt for the dough and plant-based cheese for the topping. You can also omit the cheese entirely if desired.
- Serving suggestions:ย Pair these breadsticks with marinara sauce, pomodoro sauce, sugo, or even hot honey sauce for a delicious accompaniment.
