Let's put the chocolate chopped in a glass bowl, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave.
We add the tip of a teaspoon of to the melted chocolate chilli powder and we mix.

Cheesy breadsticks are a delicious side to a meal and these soft and buttery breadsticks with cheese inside can be made in under an hour!
Making homemade cheese bread from scratch from start to finish in an hour or less is impressive and exciting. With this recipe, you can whip up a batch of quick breadsticks whenever you want! Think of all of the awesome combinations you can bring to the table with a side of cheesy breadsticks!
Making Cheesy Breadsticks From Scratch
Using yeast and warm water you’re going to want to let the yeast sit for a few minutes to bloom. This is what helps the bread dough to turn out nice and fluffy in the oven and without it your bread can be dense and not as flavorful, so it’s important not to skip this step.
Use the time that your yeast is blooming to mix up your seasonings and cheese mixture so that you’re making the most out of your time and working efficiently. This helps to cut down on the prep time needed to make these cheesy breadsticks.
What To Serve With Cheesy Breadsticks?
You’re going to find new foods to serve with your homemade cheese bread but some of the most popular dishes to serve with cheesy bread are pizza and pasta. Italian flavored dishes, although loaded in carbs, somehow taste amazing with the extra cheesy bread on the side. You can also be simple and just serve your homemade cheesy breadsticks with marinara sauce and ranch for dipping.
What Cheeses Should I Use To Make Breadsticks?
You can use any cheeses that you like! We personally enjoy a mix of Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella, and Monterey Jack, but Cheddar and Romano cheeses work well too!
Homemade Cheesy Breadsticks Ingredients
-1 cup warm water
-1 TBSP yeast
-1 TBSP sugar
-1 TBSP oil
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp minced garlic
-2 tsp onion powder
-2 1/2- 3 cups flour
-3 TBSP + 2 TBSP melted butter, divided
-1 tsp garlic salt (optional but delicious)
-2-3 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, Parmesan and Monterey Jack are our faves!)
How to Make Cheesy Breadsticks
Combine your warm water, yeast and sugar in a mixing bowl and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes until the yeast is bubbling up.
Add in the oil, salt, garlic, onion powder and flour. Start with 2 1/2 cups of flour, and then add in more until the dough cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. (I use a mixer for this part as it makes it just so much easier!)
Continue mixing the dough for an additional 3-4 minutes, and then cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. In cold weather, I like to turn my oven on for about 3 or 4 minutes, then turn it off and let my dough rest in the oven.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and spray a cookie sheet with n
on-stick cooking spray.
Spray the countertop and a rolling pin with non-stick spray and then roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4″ thick. Brush the top with 3 TBSP of melted butter and 1 tsp garlic salt, if desired. Sprinkle the top half of your dough rectangle with 2-3 cups of shredded cheese.
In the video, I used 2 cups of cheese, but if you adore those oozing cheese types of recipes, use 3 cups.
Take the bottom half of the rectangle and fold it up over the top half, so that it rests on top of the cheese. Press edges to seal. Use a pizza cutter to cut 1″-2″ strips of cheesy dough. Gently take each strip and twist a couple times. Some cheese will fall out- if you use 3 cups of cheese, I recommend 2″ strips, instead of skinnier 1″ ones. Line a cookie sheet with the twisted dough.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the dough, is a golden brown and some of the cheese is bubbling.
Let it cool. Dip in marinara sauce or ranch dressing for an added treat!

YES! You can freeze your raw or already cooked breadsticks for up to a few weeks. I recommend freezing raw dough flat on a cooking sheet before transferring it to an airtight container to keep the dough from sticking to everything. This makes thawing and baking easier later. Keep your breadsticks well wrapped until you’re ready to thaw and bake. If baking from frozen add a few minutes to the baking time.
How Do I Reheat Breadsticks?
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and place your breadsticks in for about 10 minutes. Then check to see if the cheesy breadsticks are fully warmed. If not, add a few more minutes and check again. You can also place them in the microwave for 1-3 minutes, but keep an eye on them to make sure that they don’t overbake. Over cooked breadsticks in the microwave will turn chewy as they cool.

Back when I first got my original bread machine, one of my favorite things to make with it was homemade breadsticks. They always turned out pretty damn great. Light, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than the pre-made dough you can get at the store in a can. Then again, almost anything homemade is better than pre-packaged.
These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are super simple to make and takes very little in the way of ‘hands on’ time. The bread machine does the lot of the work. All you have to do is roll the dough out and bake. Easy enough though, right?
