CHEESY GARLIC BREADSTICKS
Steps:
- In a large bowl or stand mixer combine 1/2 cup of the warm water with the sugar and yeast. Stir to combine and let rest for 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup warm water, olive oil, salt and vinegar.
- Begin mixing on medium-low speed and gradually add the flour --knead for a few minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic (it should be slightly sticky, but not so sticky that it sticks to your clean fingertip). Mine is usually ready with 1 1/2 cups flour) Cover the bowl with a dry towel and allow to rest in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F with a pizza stone inside or upside down cookie sheet inside.
- Gently punch the dough down. Place a large piece of parchment paper on your counter and use your hands (or a rolling pin, but it's easier with your hands) to spread the dough into a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick.
- Mix melted butter and garlic in a small bowl then spread mixture evenly over dough, all the way to the edges. Top with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
- Transfer the dough (still on the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve with dipping sauces like marinara sauce or ranch.

CHEESY BREADSTICKS
These are baked bread sticks laced with cheese and just a hint of cayenne. I got this recipe from a newspaper, which stated the recipe is from 5 Spoke Creamery. Plan ahead, the dough has to refrigerate for at least 2 hours, which is included in the preparation time.

Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry Need an easy appetizer for your next party? Want to impress your guests? These breadsticks are just what you're looking for! Simple to make, the dip can be prepared ahead of time and you can bake the breadsticks as needed. (You may make your dough of course...) Don't forget to poke a few holes in your crust, to prevent large air pockets. If you like spicy food, you can add more cayenne (I used 1/2 tsp. for the 'bread spices', as we like it HOT!) If you don't have a pizza stone, these can be baked on a pizza pan. The yield is a guess - yours may be different, depending on the width you cut your 'strips'. **Dry ingredients listed in parentheses are mixed into yogurt, to make dip**

Steps:

Tips:
- Make sure your ranch dressing is creamy and not too watery. If it's too thin, it won't stick to the breadsticks as well.
- If you don't have any ranch dressing, you can substitute a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and herbs.
- For a cheesy breadstick with a bit of a kick, add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the ranch dressing before mixing it with the cheese.
- To make the breadsticks extra crispy, bake them at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for a shorter amount of time.
- If you want the breadsticks to be softer, bake them at a lower temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) for a longer amount of time.
