Ease: Easy yet super impressive.
Appearance: Just look at that melting and spotted cheese! Deeeeelish.
Pros: Would be perfect for serving on game day because these breadsticks are easy and absolutely scrumptious.

Today I bring you a recipe made with bread, slathered in garlic butter, and topped with two kinds of cheese. Sorry… and you’re welcome. These crazy delicious Cheesy Garlic Beer Breadsticks would be perfect for any Super Bowl snack table or if you’re like me and have no interest in football, this recipe is perfect for just any old day. The beer pizza dough is super simple and when baked on a pizza stone you get that lovely exterior crispness that makes your mouth dance. If you don’t have a pizza stone, you should probably buy one, but if you can’t you can use any baking sheet that will accommodate a 12-inch dough circle.

Cheesy Garlic Beer Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant or rapid rise yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup room-temperature beer
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- Marinara sauce, for serving
Instructions
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook mix the flour, yeast, baking powder, salt, olive oil, and beer until well combined. Knead with dough hook until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Place a pizza stone in the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 450°F.
- In a small bowl combine the butter and garlic with a fork. On a large sheet of parchment paper, stretch and roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, taking 5-minute breaks between stretching if the dough is springing back. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with the cheeses.
- Use the parchment paper to slide the dough onto the pizza stone. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing into breadsticks. Serve hot with marinara sauce.
Made a sheetpan of this with my homemade marinara. It was delicious. My husband and I practically ate the entire thing ourselves. Will make again. Thank you.
Yup. Yes. Uh huh. Delicious!
Made these last night and they were awesome! My family ate the whole thing! And my kids are SUPER picky. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Can I substitute the beer with chicken broth?
Garlic Fingers, ftw.
