Copycat Restaurant Garlic Cheese Breadsticks Recipe: This Easy Breadstick Recipe Is Fabulous Bread/Muffins Side Dishes

Copycat recipes are huge, and a popular search is for cheesy breadsticks. These easy cheese garlic breadsticks are so good they taste like they came from a restaurant or pizzeria. The breadstick recipe is not hard to make either!

The cheesy breadsticks recipe starts by making a simple dough with flour, rapid yeast, salt, sugar, hot water and vegetable oil. The dough requires about three minutes of kneading and 20 minutes of rise time. The dough is pressed into a circle on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal (the cornmeal keeps the dough from sticking). Before baking, top the dough with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and melted butter. But that's not the end! Next sprinkle on grated mozzarella cheese. Bake until golden and melty.

Serve these homemade cheese breadsticks with pizza or as a side dish with pasta or your favorite dinner recipes.
