Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of the all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until elastic and smooth.
Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin rope, about 8 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil. Brush this mixture generously over the breadsticks.
Optional: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the breadsticks for extra flavor.
Bake the breadsticks for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or as a side to your favorite Italian dishes.
