Can I use pre-minced garlic from a jar?

You can, but fresh garlic makes all the difference. Jarred garlic lacks that bright, punchy flavor we love in these breadsticks. If you must use it, go for 1 teaspoon instead of fresh cloves - it's more concentrated.

How do I prevent soggy breadsticks?

Three tricks: 1) Don't overdo the butter - a light brush is enough. 2) Bake on the middle rack for even heat. 3) Let them cool 2 minutes before slicing - this lets the cheese set so it doesn't make the dough wet.

Can I make the dough ahead?

Absolutely, Mix the dry ingredients the night before, then just add milk when ready. The shaped dough (before toppings) can chill covered for 2 hours - just add 1-2 minutes to baking time. If you are looking for other quick sides, try our crispy smashed potatoes .

Why aren't my breadsticks fluffy?

Over-kneading is usually the culprit - stop as soon as the dough comes together. Also check your baking powder isn't expired. Fresh leavener gives that perfect lift.

What's the best cheese blend?

I swear by the mozzarella-Parm combo, but try adding a pinch of smoked Gouda or sharp cheddar for extra flavor. Just keep the total cheese at about 3/4 cup max or they'll get heavy. For another cheesy side, check out our recipe for spinach artichoke dip .
