Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon White granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water (around 110°F/43°C)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (or your preferred dipping sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition until a soft but slightly sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into thin, rope-like shapes and form letters of the alphabet. Be creative and let the kids help!
Arrange the shaped breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to prevent sticking during baking.
Sprinkle dried oregano and Parmesan cheese (if using) on top of the breadsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the alphabet breadsticks with marinara sauce (or your preferred dip) on the side. Enjoy!
