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.
