-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup water -- warm, (about 110-115F)
2 Tbsp sugar
2 1/4 tsp. Quick·Rise Yeast -- (1/4 oz, 7g)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 cup pesto
2 cups mozzarella cheese -- shredded
1/4 cup butter -- melted
Soft breadsticks filled with delicious sweet basil pesto and ooey
gooey cheese. They are guaranteed to steal the show at dinner!
Add warm water to a large mixing bowl and add sugar and yeast. Stir
to combine and set aside for about 5 minutes or until mixture is bubbly.
Add olive oil and stir to combine.
Add 1 cup of flour and salt. Stir to combine. Continue adding flour
1/4 cup at a time until mixture forms a dough ball and pulls away
from sides of the bowl.
Place dough on a floured surface and knead 3 to 5 minutes adding more
flour as needed. Dough should no longer be sticky.
Cover and allow to rise 30 minutes.
Punch dough down and roll into a 12 x 15" (approximate) rectangle.
Spread pesto over dough and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese.
Press lightly on cheese to help it stick to the dough and pesto layers.
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut into 1" strips.
Fold strips in half and twist together. Place on a parchment lined
baking sheet about 1" apart.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush with melted butter and serve immediately or at room temperature.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Question: I have fresh yeast. How could I use that in place of quick
rise yeast, if possible? I'm sure rising time is longer but would the
mixing method be different?
