Breadsticks, oh I have to profess my love to you! I’ve always been a breadstick kinda girl. I mean who doesn’t love hand-held carbs, right? When you have Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks it takes it to a whole other level. These are literally my favorite, easy, semi-homemade recipe. 

With only 5 ingredients they are quick to put together, but I can almost promise you that you will consume them faster than they are to make.

At least that is me anyway, but it shows you just how much I am in love with this recipe! I love simple recipes to start with, and sometimes I don’t want breadsticks that come from a box.

So I compromise with these cheesy breadsticks because they do use pre-made dough, so I’m not making my own, but still, they turn out fabulous, even better than at some restaurants.

We make these to go with all the things, salads, pizza night, pasta, etc. Whatever you want that you can serve bread as a side these breadsticks should be your go-to!

Try them with dipping sauce or just on their own. These cheese stuffed breadsticks are tasty however you eat them.

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Stretch and roll one package of pizza dough into a flat rectangle shape, making sure it is about ¼ inch thick across. 
3. Place the string cheese in two rows, about 1-2 inches apart from each other on top of the dough.
4. Stretch and roll the second pizza dough to the same size and shape as the first dough. Then carefully lay the second dough directly on top of the first dough and string cheese.
5. Press down firmly between each cheese stick to close the seams between each piece. Pinch the ends of each piece to secure the cheese.
6. Using a pizza cutter, cut each breadstick out and separate the pieces from each other. 
7. Place breadsticks 2-3 inches apart from each other on the baking sheet. 
8. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until fully cooked.
9. While the breadsticks are cooking, mix together the melted butter and garlic powder.
10. Remove breadsticks from the oven, and brush garlic butter over the tops. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Seriously how easy is that?! Super easy and this my friends is why we make these so often! They are nice and golden, with the perfect amount of cheese and flavor.

I can’t stress enough just how delicious these cheese-filled breadsticks are, thats why you HAVE to try them out for yourself!

CAN THESE BE MADE WITH OTHER CHEESES OR DOUGH TYPES?

Absolutely!

While mozzarella cheese sticks give that gooey cheese pull, you can try shredded cheddar cheese or even part-skim mozzarella if you want fewer calories.

For dough, you can swap in canned biscuits or wheat flour-based dough, though it may affect the cooking time and texture.

ANY ADDITIONS?

We’re talking about breadsticks here. Of course there are options!

• Brush with olive oil: For a golden brown finish, lightly brush the dough tops with olive oil or melted butter before baking.
• Sprinkle Italian seasoning: A dash of dried basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor—this is a great way to jazz them up.
• Add shredded parmesan cheese: A finishing sprinkle over your cheesy breadsticks can make them taste like fancy bosco sticks at a restaurant.
• Top with black pepper: A pinch or two of freshly ground pepper can give a spicy kick.
• Serve with a side of marinara sauce: Perfect for dipping, especially if you crave that pizza vibe.
• Try a dusting of flour: For a “bakery look,” dust them lightly with wheat or barley flour for that made-from-scratch taste.
• Include a drizzle of warm water: If your dough feels too stiff, a few drops of water can help keep it pliable.
• Dip in cheese sauce: If you want more cheese, a cheddar or queso dip is a favorite thing at many dinner tables.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Absolutely. Let me know in the comments how yours turn out!

• Vegetable oil in place of butter: Brushing with vegetable oil still helps them get golden brown, though you might miss that buttery flavor.
• Your own pizza dough for store-bought: If you prefer controlling each ingredient, making your breadstick dough from scratch can yield great products with fewer additives.
• Part-skim mozzarella cheese instead of full-fat sticks: This can help lighten up the recipe a bit, still giving you that gooey cheese pull.
• Canned biscuits: If you’re in a pinch, flatten and shape them into cheese-filled breadsticks; just keep an eye on the oven.
• Whole-wheat flour for a heartier version: Replacing some of the all-purpose flour with wheat flour can bring extra fiber, though the texture may be slightly denser.

These are best eaten right away when then come out of the oven, if you do have leftovers you can refrigerate them.

To do this, place cooled breadsticks in an airtight container or zip top bag and place in refrigerator.

These should keep for up to 3 days. To reheat we like to place back in oven at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes.
