Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add salt, olive oil, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
After rising, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles and place it onto a floured surface.
Roll the dough into a rectangle of about 10x12 inches. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice into 10-12 strips.
Transfer the strips onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave, then stir in garlic powder.
Brush each strip generously with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the breadsticks are golden brown.
Immediately after baking, brush with more garlic butter if desired. Then sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and dried parsley over the hot breadsticks.
Serve warm as a delightful side or simple appetizer.
