Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes or until it becomes frothy.
Add in the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough either by hand on a lightly floured surface or using a mixer with a dough hook attachment for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a 7-inch long breadstick.
Place the breadsticks onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover them with a cloth, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of softened butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown.
Once baked, remove them from the oven and immediately brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Olive Garden-style breadsticks!
