Homemade Breadsticks
Description
Homemade Breadsticks begin with a dough made from warm water, instant dry yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil, and all-purpose flour. The yeast and sugar activate to create a soft, slightly sticky dough that is kneaded to development and left to rise until doubled in size. Dividing and shaping the dough into 12 equal ropes allows for uniform breadsticks. A second rise develops lightness before baking at 400°F until golden brown on top, yielding a tender crumb and a slightly crisp exterior.
The topping combines melted butter with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, salt, and grated Parmesan cheese, imparting a fragrant, savory finish that enhances the breadsticks’ flavor and visual appeal. This mixture is typically brushed over the breadsticks soon after baking, allowing the butter to soak in for extra richness.
These breadsticks can be served alongside soups, salads, pasta dishes, or enjoyed as a simple snack. Their texture and seasoning complement a wide variety of meals, adding a buttery, herby accent without overpowering other flavors.
Ingredients
Breadstick Dough:
- 1 cup water about 110 degrees Fahrenheit, warm
- 1 1/4 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil.
- Add 2 cups of flour and mix at low speed.
- Increase the speed to a medium and slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be slightly sticky and soft, but shouldn't stick to your hands.
- Pay attention and either add more or less flour until the dough reaches the right consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch the dough down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 9 to 10-inch long rope and arrange it on the baking sheet, a few inches apart.
- Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Bake the breadsticks for 16 to 18 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Topping:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, salt, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture on top of the breadsticks immediately after baking.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and dried herbs as desired. Serve.
