We looove pizza and cheesy breadsticks, and we love to make them at home. We've tried so many crust recipes I've lost count, and some were pretty good but this is the best yet! We adapted Lauren's recipe slightly and it turned out absolutely delicious. (Hit the link for some more photos and specifics about why each ingredient goes into the recipe!)
  
1. Mix the water, honey and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large metal bowl.
2. Add in salt, oil and 1.5 cups flour. Once incorporated, add the rest of the flour bit by bit until the dough is slightly tacky but does not stick to your fingers. (If needed, add more than three cups of flour.)
3. Lightly grease the dough and bowl and cover with plastic wrap, then let rise 1-2 hours. At this point, you can continue on to make cheesy breadsticks or pizza, or you can wrap tightly in plastic wrap, put in a ziplock and freeze the dough until a later date! (That's what to first photo above is-- we made extra and froze one batch!)


4. To make the breadsticks, preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
5. Roll the dough out and place onto a pizza pan with a dusting of cornmeal. (Alternately, you can prepare the dough to pop it onto a pizza stone!) Melt butter and garlic in a small bowl; spread over the dough. Sprinkle the two cheeses liberally over the top and add a little pepper.
6. Bake 9-10 minutes or until the top is golden and bubble. Serve hot with marinara sauce or garlic butter! Yum!
