Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, divided)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, fresh preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and allow it to rest in a warm spot for 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a roughly 8-inch-long breadstick shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the breadsticks, reserving some for post-baking.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on the edges.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining garlic butter. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot breadsticks for extra flavor.
Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm and fresh out of the oven!
