Cheesy Bacon Breadsticks Recipes

BACON WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• After the brown sugar has air-dried a bit, add the chili seasoning and mix with fingers to blend well.
• Take a bacon rasher and dip it into the sugar, pressing sugar in lightly on both sides.
• Wrap, barber-pole style around a breadstick and place on a greased (I use olive oil) baking pan or cookie sheet.
• Repeat with as many bacon rashers as you have left.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Roast until bacon is cooked and you can see sugar has caramelized- make sure it's cooked and not burnt- about 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and CAREFULLY pick up breadstick and place on a large platter to harden (the breadsticks will be soft at this point but will harden as they cool).
• This must be done immediately, otherwise the caramelized sugar will set and it will be impossible to get your breadsticks out of the pan.

CHEESY BACON BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Unroll dough onto cookie sheet. Cut into 12 sticks with a pizza cutter.
• Top each stick of dough with a slice of bacon then twist of few times to "lock" the bacon slice in the dough. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over tops of breadstick dough, pressing lightly. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown
• While dough is baking, combine the rest of the dry ingredients. Remove finished breadsticks from oven, brush with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with parmesan, garlic powder, garlic salt, onion powder, and oregano.
• Serve with warm marinara sauce.

BACON WRAPPED PARMESAN BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• If not done, cook in 1 minute intervals until done.
