Cheese Sticks

Jodies Kitchen Cheese Sticks

 I love a good cheese stick but making them at home, they are even better.You get as much cheese as you like. This recipe is for my Pizza dough which is going to make a couple pizzas and enough dough left for a batch of cheese sticks. Or you could just make a bunch of cheese sticks and watch them diaper!

Jodies Kitchen Dough recipe for pizza and Cheese Sticks

 1 cup warm water

2 tbs. vegetable oil

2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp salt 1 pkg. active dry yeast

3 cups all purpose flour

Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl.sprinkle yeast over mixture,stirring until dissolved.Gradually add flour,mixing well after each addition.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface,and knead until smooth and elastic. Shape into ball,and place into a greased bowl,turning to grease top.Cover and let rise in warm place 1 hour or until doubled in size.Punch dough down,divide in half.Then you may start working your dough into a round for pizza or if making these cheese sticks in a 8x8 dark pan,which has lots of olive oil in the bottom.I also salt, little garlic powder, and olive oil to the top of the dough before baking. Dont forget lots of Cheese.Temp is the same for all as high as you can get it.My oven will bake at 550 F.You make make your Cheese sticks as thick as you like,and if you want thinner cheese sticks I suggest putting on a pizza pan and making that way.The 8x8 makes a thicker cheese stick.
