*Please note you will need Carb Manager Fathead Dough prepared the night before you make this recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 servings low carb fathead dough
- 4 ounce mozzarella cheese
- ½ tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic
Instructions
- Have a ¾ recipe of Fathead dough prepared, cold. It will be easier to make a full recipe of Fathead dough, leaving extra to get trimmed away later in the steps.
- When you are ready to prepare your breadsticks, preheat an oven to 350 degrees and line a 9X13 sheet tray with parchment paper. Roll out HALF your dough into a rectangular or oval shape, as close to 8X12 inches as possible. Set this dough on your sheet tray.
- Cut 4, 8-inch long, 1 oz pieces from an 8oz block of mozzarella cheese. Place all 4 cheese sticks on your rolled out dough, with up to 1 ½ inches of space between each piece, as pictured.
- Set your tray in your freezer for the time being. Roll out your second half of dough into a similar sized sheet as your first one. Then, lay the new sheet of dough over the cheese sticks.
- Gently lift and arrange the dough so you can press it down in between each cheese stick. Use a fork to make perforations between each cheese stick. Use a paring knife to trim away the extra edges of dough, leaving at least 1 inch of dough around the entire set of cheese sticks. Make sure all edges of the dough are sealed so cheese does not melt out during baking.
- Finally, melt the butter and stir in the garlic. Use a pastry or marinade brush to brush the garlic butter over the tops of each cheese stick section, making sure not to fill your perforations with butter. Bake for 30-32 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice your breadsticks into 4 pieces along the perforated areas. Enjoy while hot and gooey!
