- •1 cup of warm water
- •2 1/4 tsps of active dry yeast
- •1 tbsp sugar
- •2 tsps salt
- •2 tbsps olive oil
- •3 cups of bread flour
- For garlic breadsticks
- •Half the dough created from pizza dough recipe
- •2 tbsps salted butter, softened
- •2 garlic cloves, minced
- •1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- •1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated

Directions
-
First for the pizza dough. In a large bowl, stir the yeast and sugar into the warm water. Leave it to stand for approximately 10 minutes or until the mix begins to foam.
-
Add to the mixture the salt, olive oil and half of the flour and give it a good mix.
-
Gradually add in the remaining flour and mix it in until you have a dough that is a bit tacky but doesn’t stick to your hands.
-
Knead the dough for 6 minutes. Your arms may well start hurting but do persist!
-
When needed, place dough in a greased bowl and cover it. Leave it to rise for between 1-2 hours. It can then be used as and when you need it.
-
Next for the breadsticks. Mix the garlic and butter in a bowl and leave for later.
-
Spread the dough (half of what you made earlier) into a 12 inch circle on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
-
Spread the butter and garlic on top of the dough and then sprinkle on the parmesan and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Bake in an oven pre-heated to 260C for 10 minutes. When removed from the oven leave to cool for 2 minutes. Then cut into thin strips to resemble breadsticks.
