Submitted by Chef #753510

"Came from http://visualrecipes.com/recipe-details/recipe_id/279/Olive-Garden-Breadsticks,-Pizza-Hut-Cheesesticks/ I use a bread machine to make the dough. This time i mixed equal parts white and wheat flour. The base is the same, but the toppings can be different. Olive Garden: butter, flour, sugar, salt, yeast, kosher salt, garlic powder Pizza Hut breadsticks: same + grated parmesan, black pepper, herbs Pizza Hut cheesesticks: same + mozzarella"

8. Then shake these onto your breadsticks to your liking (don't overpower the sticks though) For Cheesesticks Sprinkle shredded mozzarella onto the tops, then pop under the broiler until the cheese bubbles and burns a bit.

These were really good. Made in my bread maker - did not get home until about an hour after they should have been ready. Just rolled them out and let them rise in a "warm/proof" oven. Brushed them a few times with melted butter and kosher salt along with garlic salt. Took them out when brown, cooked as directed and NUMMY! Did not do the Pizza Hut variation but will try next time. They are so good that you cannot go wrong either way. Thanks for a great recipe. Good flavor and very easy!
