Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and melted butter. Stir until a sticky dough forms, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Spread the dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula or your hands to spread it out evenly into a roughly rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the surface, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Then, evenly dust the garlic powder and Italian seasoning on top for flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks turn golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
  6. Slice and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. Slice into breadstick shapes and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easier mixing with the dough.
  • For extra crispiness, broil the breadsticks for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of cheeses like cheddar or provolone if preferred.
  • Serve with marinara sauce or garlic butter for dipping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
