Crispy, good, and simple pizza breadsticks.
Today’s recipe is delicious! I cooked a mix of pizza breadsticks with mozzarella, tomato, and oregano.
This recipe is a super tasty variation of the pizza we love so much.
The dough is made with all-purpose flour and semolina flour, water, and fresh yeast, so it’s really accessible for everyone.
The quick baking makes these delicious leavened bites soft and tasty.
Finally, the peeled tomato and melting mozzarella provide the freshness you can sense from the first bite.
Pizza breadsticks are perfect any time of the day, pizza lovers will agree, but I especially recommend them to start a casual dinner, and they are equally perfect for aperitifs or buffets, especially summer ones.
I challenge anyone to resist pizza breadsticks; try it to believe it.
After all, this is a true masterpiece of Italian cuisine, a dish the whole world envies us for! The great thing is that you can shape them however you want, but the taste remains irresistible.
Pizza is one of the savory leavened foods I love most, so over time I have enjoyed preparing many variations, from the most classic to the most original.
Starting from this simple base, you can then create your favorite pizza breadsticks, changing the filling to your liking.

Steps for Pizza Breadsticks
Crumble the fresh yeast into a large bowl and dissolve it in lukewarm water, also adding the sugar. Mix well.
Add the flours and the oil.
First mix with a spoon, then add the salt and knead by hand until you have a smooth and soft dough.
Cover with cling film and let it rise in a warm place, like the oven turned off with the light on, for at least 4 hours, or until it has more than doubled in volume.
Turn the dough out onto the work surface and roll it with a rolling pin.
Cut out some loaves and place them on a greased baking tray.
(I made 5 long ones, but you can make them shorter).
Brush the surface with some tomato and let them rise in the turned-off oven with the light on for about 1 hour (they should double in size).
Some I left without oregano to create a mix of breadsticks.(I made three with oregano and two without, to add mozzarella, and here you can be creative and fill them as you like).
Bake in a ventilated oven at 480°F for 10 minutes in the lower part and for 5/10 in the middle.
In the last 5 minutes, take them out and add the mozzarella on some of the breadsticks.
Bake for another 5 minutes or until the mozzarella has completely melted.
You will have made truly irresistible soft breadsticks, which can be the base for various toppings.
Enjoy your meal
Tips
It’s still warm now so 5 hours of rising are needed, but if your home is cooler, the rising time will be longer.
You can store the breadsticks in the fridge for two or three days; just reheat them in the oven for a few minutes before consuming.
You can also freeze the pizza breadsticks after baking.
You can garnish the breadsticks with different ingredients, like mushrooms, cold cuts, various cheeses, grilled vegetables, for breadsticks with different flavors.
I used two types of flour: all-purpose flour and semolina flour.
But it also works well with just all-purpose flour.
