Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water (approximately 110°F/43°C)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope approximately 6-8 inches long and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the breadsticks with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the breadsticks are lightly golden and puffed.
While the breadsticks are baking, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese (if using), and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
Once the breadsticks are out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
Serve the breadsticks warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
