Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water 110°F
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 tbsp salted butter
- 2 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Cover the bowl and allow the yeast to activate for 5-10 minutes.
- Whisk in the olive oil and salt. Sift the flour into the bowl.
- Using the dough hook attachment, mix the ingredients together on low speed until the flour is incorporated. Then, increase the speed to medium-high and mix for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each section into a 12-inch log on a lightly floured surface. Slice each log into 6 equal pieces (about 2 inches each), creating 12 total pieces. Shape the pieces into 7-8 inch long breadsticks.
- Place the breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and allow the breadsticks to rise until they are puffy, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Bake the breadsticks for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. In the meantime, whisk together the melted butter and garlic powder.
- Once the breadsticks come out of the oven, use a pastry brush to douse them in the garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
