Ingredients:
- 1 cup (112g) shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup (100g) shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions:
- Heat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and ensure the rack is in the center position for even browning.
- Melt the base. Place 1 cup of mozzarella and 1 cup of parmesan in your bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir with a sturdy spatula, and repeat. Stop when it is a single, stretchy mass.
- Wait for the cool down. Let the cheese sit for exactly 60 seconds. Note: This prevents the egg from scrambling when you add it.
- Add the binders. Crack the room temperature egg into the cheese and sprinkle in the 1 tsp of garlic powder.
- Knead the dough. Use your hands or a spatula to work the egg into the cheese. It will look like it is not going to mix at first, but keep going until it is a smooth, pale yellow ball.
- Shape the rectangle. Place the dough on a large sheet of parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Score the strips. Use a pizza cutter to score the dough into 8 to 10 strips, but do not pull them apart yet. Leaving them close together prevents the edges from burning too fast.
- Bake to mahogany. Slide the parchment onto your baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the surface is deep brown and the kitchen smells like a pizzeria.
- Cool for stability. Let the breadsticks rest on the pan for 5 minutes. This is when they transition from soft cheese to crispy breadsticks.
