Cheese Stuffed Breadsticks

I love breadsticks, and while we were st the state fair a couple weeks ago I was reminded of these breadsticks stuffed with cheese. Got me thinking I could probably do the same with some string cheese. So I started with my normal breadstick recipe and some mozzarella string cheese.

Bread Sticks

Dough:

1 1/2 C hot water (I use mine between 110 and 120 degrees)
2 T sugar
1 T yeast
1 T salt
2 T butter, softened
4-5 C flour

Topping:

3 T melted butter
sea salt
garlic powder

Pour water into stand mixer with sugar and yeast, let sit and froth about 10 minutes.

Add salt, butter and 2 C flour. Mix on low. Add 1/2 C flour at a time until dough scrapes sides of bowl clean. Mix 5 minutes on medium.

Roll into log. Spray knife with cooking spray and cut into 12 pieces.

Roll into snakes. At this point I shaped some of them around a stick of string cheese. I suppose I could have tried to make them a bit prettier, but at least they were yummy!
