Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter (melted, plus more for brushing)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
- Create the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture and melted butter; stir until combined.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Shape the Breadsticks: Punch down the risen dough, roll into ropes about 1 inch thick, and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each breadstick with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- For added flavor, try substituting Parmesan with cheddar or adding fresh herbs like rosemary.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; reheat in the oven for optimal texture.
