Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • 1 ½ tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp warm water 110°F, divided

Toppings:

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter thinly sliced
  • 1 egg yolk lightly beaten
  • ½ cup warm water 110°F, divided
  • marinara sauce for dipping
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp garlic salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted, divided
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the yeast with half of the warmed water (heated to 110°F) and set it aside for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, place the thinly sliced butter, sugar, and salt. Pour the remaining warm water into the butter mixture and allow it to sit while the yeast activates.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Whisk the butter mixture, then add the egg yolk and yeast mixture. Stir in the flour until just incorporated.
  4. Prepare Dough: Brush a baking dish with melted butter, spread the dough, cover, and let it rest.
  5. Top and Bake: Preheat the oven, add toppings to the dough, and bake until golden and bubbly.
  6. Finish and Serve: Cool the cheese sticks, cut into pieces, and serve warm with marinara sauce.

Notes

  • You can customize the toppings with your favorite herbs and cheeses.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the cheese sticks on a pizza stone.
