Description
Delightful cheese-filled breadsticks shaped like bones, perfect for Halloween gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Dried herbs (basil, oregano, thyme optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Mix in melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and herbs.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
- Move the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Divide into equal portions and roll each into a thin rope, shaping into bone forms.
- Press cheese strips into the center of each bone shape.
- Place on a lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden-brown and cheese is bubbling.
- Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving, sprinkling with extra garlic powder and herbs if desired.
Notes
For gluten-free, substitute 1:1 flour. Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
