Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for about 2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 6-8 inches long.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Cover them lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 5 minutes.
While the breadsticks are resting, melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Brush the breadsticks generously with the seasoned butter mixture, saving some for after baking.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on top.
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining seasoned butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
