Creating delicious Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks is simple! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your breadsticks bake evenly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add Cheeses: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the dry mixture. This will create a cheesy flavor throughout.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and olive oil until combined.
5. Make the Dough: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until it forms a dough. Avoid over-mixing.
6. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it for a minute. Aim for a smooth texture but don’t overdo it.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut strips approximately 1 inch wide and 4-6 inches long for individual breadsticks.
8. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cut breadsticks onto a greased baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
9. Brush with Butter: Melt the butter and brush it generously over the tops of the breadsticks. This adds flavor and gives them a golden color.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
11. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the breadsticks cool for about 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up slightly.
12. Serve Warm: Enjoy your delicious, cheesy breadsticks while they’re warm!
