Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
Add 2 cups of flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough begins to form.
Gradually incorporate the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes. The dough should be elastic and smooth.
Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean, damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough to remove excess air. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a 6-inch long breadstick.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one to allow for rising.
Cover the breadsticks lightly with a cloth and let them rise again for about 15 minutes.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the breadsticks are baking, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Remove the baked breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture while hot.
Allow to cool slightly and serve warm. Enjoy these low-fat, delicious breadsticks with your favorite soup or salad.
