Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt for topping
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add olive oil, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring continuously. Once the dough starts pulling away from the sides of the bowl, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal parts. Roll each portion into a 6-7 inch breadstick.
Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish.
Brush each breadstick generously with the melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and Italian seasoning.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining melted butter. Serve warm.
