Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a separate large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly coat a clean bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and 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 6-8 inches long) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the breadsticks with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
While the breadsticks are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping by combining the remaining melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley in a small bowl.
Immediately after removing the breadsticks from the oven, brush them generously with the garlic butter mixture. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Yummy Blitzen Breadsticks!
