Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm water, 110 to 120°F
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, (about 7 ½ ounces)
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, a pinch
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, (about 6 ounces)
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese, (about 4 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley, plus extra for topping
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni, (about 1 ounce)
Instructions
- PROOF YEAST: Preheat the oven to its lowest “warm” setting. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine ¾ cup warm water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
- MAKE DOUGH: Add 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour and a pinch (⅛ teaspoon) kosher salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on medium speed until the dough forms, then knead 5 to 6 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- FIRST RISE: Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place dough in the bowl, turning once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel. Turn the oven off and place the covered bowl inside. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- ROLL DOUGH: Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll into a 12×12-inch square. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- PREHEAT OVEN: Set the oven to 400°F.
- MIX FILLING: In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley. Set aside ½ cup of the mixture for topping.
- ASSEMBLE BREADSTICKS: Sprinkle the remaining cheese mixture evenly over one half of the rolled dough. Fold the dough in half over the cheese and pinch edges to seal. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice into 1-inch strips, leaving the fold intact so the breadsticks stay connected.
- TOP AND BAKE: Brush the top with 3 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with extra garlic powder, parsley, reserved cheese mixture, and ¼ cup sliced pepperoni. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and bubbling.
- SERVE: Remove from the oven. Let cool 5 minutes before separating the breadsticks. Serve warm with marinara sauce if desired.

Can dough be made in bread machine?
My whole family loved these. They are so delicious, and honestly taste better than the usual pizza place we order from.
So easy, and a big hit with the kids. I added garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and basil (dried), plus black pepper to the dough. Serve with marinara!
