Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Cheesy Breadsticks

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
2. While the dough is rising, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, quickly cook the sliced beef until just browned. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Combine beef with the sautéed onions and peppers. Let cool slightly.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8–10 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle about 15×7 cm (6×3 inches).
6. Place a generous amount of the beef and pepper mixture along the center of each rectangle, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
7. Arrange the stuffed breadsticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley or Italian seasoning.
8. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve warm with marinara sauce, cheese dip, or your favorite sandwich toppings on the side.
