Taco Cheesy Twisty BREAD STICKS - 52 Appetizers Recipes


OH BOY!  CHEESY BREAD STICKS!!!

This is such an easy recipe and has a wonderful delicious payoff.  Especially since I only seem to make them whenever I am making Pizzas and have extra pizza dough.

Last night I was making pizza.   Just for my wife and myself,  But the recipe for dough I use makes 4 balls of pizza dough (An easy recipe, no rising or kneading.  Kitchenaid easy and ready to use immediately (but best of you let it cold rise in the fridge for a couple of hours)).  You can find the recipe for the bread stick dough by clicking HERE.

Once you have the dough the rest is more technique...

Roll the dough into a square

Spread butter, cheese and spices on the square.

Fold 1/3rd of the dough onto the center third, and 1/3rd from the top onto that new thick center.

Cut into 1 inch "sticks".

Twist and Bake.

And SHOUT, "Oh Boy, BREAD STICKS"!!!

Fantastic leftovers and would make interesting dinner rolls.  Feel free to adapt this with different cheese and spice mixes. I had Taco items handy (again, leftovers).

Enjoy indeed!


OK... Here's what I did...
