Sourdough Cheesy Breadsticks (Print-Friendly Version)

Crispy-edged, tangy breadsticks loaded with melty cheese and herbs, made with sourdough discard for extra flavor depth.

# Ingredients List:

01 - 1 cup sourdough discard
02 - ½ cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 tsp baking powder
04 - ½ tsp salt
05 - 2 tbsp olive oil
06 - 1 cup shredded cheese
07 - 1 tsp garlic powder
08 - Dried herbs

# How to Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, combine sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, and garlic powder if using. Stir with a fork until clumping, then knead by hand for 1–2 minutes until smooth but not sticky. Add flour 1 tbsp at a time if tacky; add water if crumbly.
02 - Lightly flour the counter and roll the dough into a ¼-inch-thick rectangle, approximately 10x12 inches. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 - Spread shredded cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a ½-inch border around edges. Sprinkle herbs and press gently to adhere.
04 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15–18 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges are golden and cheese is bubbling.
05 - Let the breadsticks cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing into 1-inch-wide pieces. Serve immediately.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use fresh baking powder for optimal texture and rise.
02 - Fold parchment edges slightly to contain any melted cheese overflow.
