Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup sourdough discard (unfed, room temperature)
-
1/4 cup water (plus 1–2 tablespoons more if needed)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
-
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For the Topping:
-
1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
-
1–2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
Optional: chopped parsley or red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sourdough discard, water, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, oregano, and baking powder until a soft dough forms. Add a splash more water if the dough feels dry.
-
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a rectangle or oval about 1/4-inch thick.
-
Brush the dough with melted butter or olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic, mozzarella, and Parmesan evenly over the top.
-
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
-
Let cool for a few minutes, then slice into breadsticks with a pizza cutter or knife. Garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
-
If you don’t have mozzarella, swap in cheddar, Monterey Jack, or any melty cheese you love!
-
For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend (results may vary slightly).
-
These breadsticks freeze well! Just reheat in the oven at 350°F until warm and crispy again.
-
Freshly minced garlic brings the best flavor, but garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
