- Gently fold in the shredded cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.

- With a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into evenly-sized strips.
- Place the strips on a lined baking sheet, ensuring there is space for them to rise.

Notes
For perfect breadsticks, avoid overkneading the dough, and ensure your sourdough starter is active. You can substitute the cheese with pepper jack for some heat or a mix of cheeses for unique flavor.
