Scale
- 1 cup warm water (about 105–115°F / 40–46°C)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for kneading)

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Whisk warm water and sugar in a small bowl until dissolved.
- Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture, then let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl, making a shallow well in the center.
- Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the well, and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle roughly 1/2 inch thick and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
- Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the dough.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush the top with melted butter after removing from the oven, and sprinkle with parsley if using.
- Slice into sticks and serve warm.
Notes
For crispy edges, reheat in an oven; for best texture, let cool before slicing.
