Cheesy Garlic Bread Sticks are quite simple to make. Everyone in my family loves these stick, so I decided to make garlic bread. I started searching and found many recipes on the net. Took the clue from there and made it the way I like. It was perfect and delicious too.
The breadsticks start with my dough recipe which is perfectly chewy and flavorful on the inside but crispy on the outside. With filling of corn, jalapeno and grated mozzarella and glazing with melted garlic butter and herbs, they are delicious! You may serve with a cheesy dip.
It’s not hard to make these breadsticks at home. Trust me! You just need the right directions, a view visuals, proper ingredients, and a little patience. I’m going to take you through a few visuals so you know exactly what things should look like as you’re working in the kitchen. You might also be interested in checking out my Pizza Tarlets.
