Garlic Cheese Bread Sticks

By Cathers

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp granulated garlic
• 1/4 cup cheddar or Mexican-style cheese, shredded
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, nix flour, baking powder, salt, granulated garlic and cheese. Stir in milk and vegetable oil and incorporate well until soft dough forms. The dough will be tacky, so sprinkle with flour before kneading to avoid dough sticking to your hands.

Turn out onto a lightly floured cutting board and knead at least 10 times. Shape dough into a 12 X 13 inch log. Cut log in half horizontally, then cut each half vertically (4 sections total, each 6 inches long) Cut each section horizontally into 5 small pieces, creating 20 total pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured board until it is 4-5 inches long. Twist each piece 3-4 times and place on a greased cookie sheet. Melt butter, stir in Italian seasoning and brush each piece with butter mixture. Bake 8-10 minutes.

*Granulated garlic is a dried garlic product. The same amount of garlic powder can be substituted, but garlic salt and fresh garlic are not recommended.
