Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 6-8 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a breadstick shape, about 8-10 inches long.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
Brush the breadsticks with 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the breadsticks are baking, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder.
As soon as the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush them with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley (if using) on top.
Serve warm and enjoy!
