Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 1 piece Egg, beaten (for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds or coarse salt (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down slightly to release air. Roll it out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped jalapenos evenly over the surface of the dough. If using, also add the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise, gently pressing it down to seal the ingredients inside.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded dough into strips about 1 inch wide.

Step 9

Take each strip and twist it gently before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 10

Brush the breadsticks with the beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds or coarse salt on top, if desired.

Step 11

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 12

Bake the breadsticks for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your freshly baked jalapeno breadsticks!
