Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, salt, and 2.5 cups of the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough starts to form.
Slowly add the remaining flour, a little bit at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and slightly sticky but pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 6-8 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-10 inch breadstick shape and place them on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
Let the shaped dough rest for about 15 minutes to slightly puff up.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the top of the breadsticks.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown.
As soon as the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush them again with the garlic butter mixture, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
