Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Whey protein isolate
- 5 grams Instant yeast
- 100 milliliters Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, and instant yeast.
Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a dough.
Add salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil to the dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and roll it out on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.
Slice the dough into long, thin strips to form breadsticks.
Preheat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the breadsticks to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove the breadsticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the breadsticks are still warm, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them.
Serve the breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
