Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough starts to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 5-6 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles 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 and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a 7-8 inch breadstick shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and brush it over the breadsticks.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
While the breadsticks are baking, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and mix it with garlic powder. Optionally, stir in dried parsley for garnish.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm!
