Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Stir lightly and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the remaining sugar, 2 cups of flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Add olive oil and gradually add the remaining flour. Stir until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 7-8 inch long breadstick and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Cover the breadsticks with a damp cloth and let them rest for another 15 minutes.
In the meantime, melt the vegan butter and mix it with garlic powder, oregano, and parsley in a small bowl.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
Remove from oven and immediately brush the garlic mixture over the hot breadsticks. Serve warm.
