Cookinero 27 Mar 2025

Italy is considered to be the birthplace of cheese yeast sticks. As early as the 14th century, Italians prepared them as an alternative to the expensive bread of that time. Now there are many recipes from different types of dough. One of the most popular is cheese sticks from yeast dough. The snack is easy to prepare, even a novice cook can easily master the technology. It is better to use hard cheese to prepare the sticks.

How to cook Cheese yeast sticks

Step 1

Cheese yeast sticks

Prepare the dough. In a deep container, mix salt with 3 tablespoons of flour, add sugar, dry yeast, warm milk and water, pour in vegetable oil. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Gradually add flour. The dough should be elastic. Cover the container with a clean towel and leave for 40 minutes to rise.

Step 2

Cheese yeast sticks

Prepare the sticks. Form the dough into sticks. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave to rest and rise a little. After 15 minutes, beat the egg yolk with 2 tbsp. milk and grease the sticks. Sprinkle with grated cheese on top. Bake in the oven, preheated to 180 ˚C, for 15 minutes.

Cheese yeast sticks - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for instant yeast, but you may need to activate it first by dissolving it in warm liquid (like milk or water) with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dough.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Yes! Replace milk with a dairy-free alternative (like almond or oat milk), use vegan cheese, and skip the egg wash or substitute with plant-based milk or oil for brushing.
For best results, reheat in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 5–7 minutes or in an air fryer for 3–4 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
Yes! After shaping, place unbaked sticks on a tray, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw and proof before baking, or add 2–3 extra minutes to baking time if baking straight from frozen.
Hard or semi-hard cheeses like cheddar, Gouda, or Parmesan melt well and add flavor. Pre-shredded cheese works, but freshly grated blends more evenly and tastes fresher.
Absolutely! Adjust stick size as needed—just note that smaller sticks may bake faster (check at 10 minutes), while larger ones may need 18–20 minutes.
Pair with soups, dips (like marinara or garlic aioli), or salads. They’re also great as a standalone snack or part of a charcuterie board.
