Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add olive oil, salt, and 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until 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 about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 7-inch breadstick and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cover the breadsticks again with the kitchen towel and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Melt the unsalted butter and mix in garlic powder and salt for the topping.
Lightly brush the breadsticks with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the breadsticks are golden brown.
Brush with additional garlic butter as soon as they come out of the oven and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your homemade sugar-free Olive Garden breadsticks.
