Sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and kicking. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes! The dough should be smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be clean! Lightly grease the bowl &amp; the dough so it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t dry out, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"https:\/\/www.thepickyapple.com\/blog\/2011\/11\/10\/cheesy-garlic-breadsticks\/\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you know by now, The Littlest Apple is an extremely picky eater. \u00c2\u00a0One food he will eat is pizza (cheese or pepperoni only, and preferably from one pizza chain in particular). \u00c2\u00a0He also really enjoys the cheesy breadsticks we get from said favorite pizza chain. \u00c2\u00a0I think the breadsticks might be his favorite part.
