# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Stir until dissolved and let rest for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Add all-purpose flour, sea salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Knead on medium speed for 7–8 minutes until the dough is soft and no longer sticky, adding extra flour one tablespoon at a time as necessary.
03 -
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 90–120 minutes or until doubled in volume.
04 -
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a smooth ball. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
05 -
Set the oven to 230°C. Generously butter a 39 cm x 27 cm baking tray.
06 -
Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring 39 cm x 27 cm and position it on the greased baking tray.
07 -
Mix the minced garlic with softened butter. Spread the garlic butter evenly across the rolled dough surface.
08 -
Bake the dough for 7 minutes until slightly set but not browned.
09 -
Sprinkle the grated cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the pre-baked dough. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Remove from the oven and cut breadsticks lengthwise and into strips of desired width. Serve warm.
# Notes:

For crispier breadsticks, bake a few extra minutes after adding the cheese until your preferred doneness.
