My boys love homemade pizza nights. In fact, they beg me to make it for them instead of ordering a pizza. But I really can’t complain. I absolutely love this dough recipe. It is so quick and easy and perfect for beginners. It only requires 20 minutes of rest time and it is in and out of the oven in no time at all!

And let’s be honest. A hot and cheesy right out of the oven homemade pizza is the best. My family absolutely loves it! But they also love cheesesticks as well. So I quickly made some of these cheesy cheddar garlic breadsticks and they instantly fell in love! These are so good that you can’t stop eating them. They go perfect with a pizza or even made a great appetizer! And because they are made with such a quick and easy dough, you have no excuse not to make them. You are going to love them as much as we did!

  1. Would these freeze well? Need a cheese stick or bun to do ahead for putting in lunches.
    Thank you

    1. These will freeze but they do thaw a little harder and not taste as great as the breadsticks right out of the oven.

  2. Hi,

    Would like to try this recipe. But, I have two queries:

    1) Have you used instant yeast or dry active yeast? I’m asking this because when I bake bread, for the first rise, the dough takes at least 2 hours when I use dry active yeast.

    2) Have you used all-purpose refined flour in this recipe?

    Please answer and oblige. Thanks!

  3. I despise when I order pizza and cheese sticks to go along with it, and the cheese sticks are bland, and sprinkled with barely any cheese. Delivery pizza, take note, because THESE are what cheesy breadsticks should look like!
