Serve Cheesy Bread Sticks the next time you make Spaghetti and Meatballs or your favorite pasta dish. Our family loves this recipe and there are never any leftovers. In fact, we sometimes call dibs for the last piece. (Fighting at the table is not allowed.)
I’ve been making this recipe for years, every since our daughters were young. They liked it then and they still love it today. As do their husbands. And our grandchildren.
The bread is an old pizza dough recipe I used to make. It’s soft with a hint of sweetness. And it’s loaded with gooey Mozzarella Cheese. Salty garlic powder. Sweet and tasty Chives. Or use dried Parsley if you prefer. Your taste buds will be in heaven. I’m drooling now, just thinking about it.
Ingredients Needed to Make Cheesy Bread Sticks

Instructions on Making this Recipe
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Measure out water and add in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir the water and oil mixture into the flour and knead until dough forms a ball, about 5-7 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll dough out into a 12″ x 15″ rectangle. Transfer dough to a greased sheet pan.
Sprinkle remaining olive oil on surface, spreading to edges. Allow dough to rise for 30 minutes. Sprinkle dough with garlic powder, chives, and grated cheese. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Cut into finger slices. Makes 14-16 slices.
