Flour for dusting
→ Cheeses
03 -
30 g unsalted butter, melted

# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
02 -
Divide dough into equal portions. Roll each piece into an 20 cm rope, thickening the ends slightly. Using kitchen scissors, snip 2.5 cm cuts at each end, then gently pull apart tips to form bone shapes.
03 -
Arrange shaped dough on prepared sheets. Brush generously with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese.
04 -
Bake breadsticks for 15 minutes until edges are lightly golden and firm.
05 -
Remove from oven, sprinkle shredded mozzarella over tops, then return to oven for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
06 -
Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, enhancing the festive presentation.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
Allow dough to come to room temperature before shaping for easier handling.
02 -
Use fresh block cheese for superior melt and moisture compared to pre-shredded varieties.
03 -
Freeze unbaked shaped breadsticks for up to one month; bake from frozen, extending baking time by 2–3 minutes.
