Can I see a raise of hands for those who love bacon? That’s right, most of you do…and for good reason, it’s ridiculously yummy! Recently, Bi-Lo asked me to come up with my own recipe using bacon for their “Everybody Loves Bacon Event.” I spent days and days thinking of a recipe that could be improved upon by the addition of bacon and I came to the conclusion, “What recipe couldn’t?” {See my bacon chocolate chip cookie recipe} After much deliberation and searching Pinterest to make sure my recipe wasn’t taken I decided on Cheesy Bacon Breadsticks!
Breadsticks are one my favorite foods to indulge in. No, they’re not healthy and they don’t claim to be. They’re just warm, cheesy sticks of goodness.
Don’t they make your mouth water? Mmm, they sure do mine and I just finished off a small plate of these earlier tonight. The best thing about these are is that you can use your favorite breadstick recipe and add bacon to the top. You don’t have to learn a new recipe if you don’t want to.
Ingredients:
| 1½ | cups warm water (about 115°F) |
| 2 | tbsp sugar |
| ½ | tsp salt |
| ½ | cup non-fat dry milk |
| 1 | tbsp yeast |
| 3 | cups flour |
| ½ | cup melted butter (half for the bottom of the pan and half on top of the breadsticks) |
| 8 oz package of mozzarella cheese | |
| Sprinkle with crumbled fried bacon, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper (to taste) |
