Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp coarse sea salt

Instructions

In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Allow dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Divide dough into pieces and roll each into thin ropes.
Place shredded cheese at one end of each rope, twist the dough around it, sealing tightly.
Boil water in a pot and stir in baking soda. Drop each broomstick into boiling water for 30 seconds.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm with dipping sauces like mustard or marinara.
