Pizza Breadsticks
Yield: Makes 14 servings
Ingredients:
1
package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

3/4
cup warm water (105° to 115°F)

2-1/2
cups all-purpose flour

1/2
cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1/4
cup (1 ounce) shredded Parmesan cheese

1/4
cup chopped red bell pepper

1
green onion, sliced

1
medium clove garlic, minced

1/2
teaspoon dried basil

1/2
teaspoon dried oregano

1/4
teaspoon salt

1/4
teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1
tablespoon olive oil



Preparation:
1.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 2 large nonstick baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

2.
Sprinkle yeast over warm water in small bowl; stir until yeast dissolves. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.

3.
Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients except olive oil in food processor; process a few seconds to combine. With food processor running, gradually add yeast mixture and olive oil. Process just until mixture forms a ball. (Add additional 2 tablespoons flour if dough is too sticky.)

4.
Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; knead 1 minute. Let dough rest 5 minutes. Roll out dough with lightly floured rolling pin to form 14X8-inch rectangle; cut dough crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Twist dough strips; place on prepared baking sheets.

5.
Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.
