Ingredients
For the Dough
- 150 grams water
- 100 grams active sourdough starter
- 12 grams sugar
- 24 grams olive oil, plus more for the baking sheet
- 300 grams all purpose flour
- 8 grams salt
For the Topping
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- For serving: marinara sauce (optional)
Directions
Make the Dough
- Combine the water, starter, oil, and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the flour and salt and mix well until no dry bits of flour remain. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Knead a few times to form into a nice ball. Cover and let rise until doubled in size - about 6-8 hours.
Make the Breadsticks
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Turn the dough out onto the baking sheet and use your hands to spread dough to roughly ½-inch thick. Be sure to pop any large air bubbles that may have formed during the first rise. Brush with the melted butter and sprinkle seasonings over top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 1-2 hours more.Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Top the dough with the cheeses. Bake for 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and use a pizza cutter to cut into sticks. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
Notes
If you're making this ahead, you can fully assemble it in the morning, cover well, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake in the evening.
