  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup (75 g) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast blooms.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt.
  3. Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil aside.
  4. Add the flour to the yeast and oil mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Add the dough to a greased bowl and cover with a clean towel. Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  7. Pour the remaining oil mixture into a 7×11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the pan.
  8. Transfer the risen dough to the prepared baking dish. Work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
  9. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, make 3 equally-spaced slices across the short side of the baking dish*. Then, slice down the center of the dough lengthwise to create a total of 8 breadsticks.
  10. Brush the top of the breadsticks with one teaspoon of olive oil.
  11. Sprinkle the garlic powder and salt evenly over the breadsticks.
  12. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  13. Immediately brush the baked breadsticks with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
