For the Dough

  • 1 tsp Salt Use kosher, sea, or Himalayan salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Can substitute with melted butter or avocado oil
For the Cheesy Goodness
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Mozzarella is great for melting while cheddar adds sharp flavor
For Extra Flavor
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Optional; consider smoked paprika or onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Dried Herbs Optional; such as oregano, basil, or rosemary

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Roll the dough into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick on a floured surface.
  4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the surface of the dough, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the breadsticks for about 15–18 minutes until golden-brown.
  7. Let the breadsticks cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing them into strips.

Notes

For a less sticky dough, add flour gradually while mixing. Avoid pre-shredded cheese for better melting. Bake and freeze for later enjoyment.
