Ingredients
Breadstick Dough
- 1 cup warm water 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For Topping
- 2 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Stir briefly to combine.
- Add 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Using a dough hook attachment, start the mixer on low speed until the flour begins to incorporate. Increase to medium speed and slowly add the remaining ½ cup of flour. Continue mixing, adding more flour as needed, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth and elastic. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but not adhere to your hands.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope 9–10 inches long and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with the towel and let rise for 20 minutes while preheating the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the breadsticks for 16–18 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- While the breadsticks are baking, whisk together the melted butter, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the breadsticks immediately after they come out of the oven. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or Italian seasoning while the butter is still warm for additional flavor.
Notes
- No stand mixer? Mix the ingredients in a large bowl with a wooden spoon, then turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- If using active dry yeast instead of instant dry yeast, use in the same amount, but add 10 minutes to each rising time.
- Need breadsticks fast? Preheat your oven to 100°F and let the dough rise in this warm setting. This can cut the rising time in half, so you’ll have fresh breadsticks ready in as little as 50 minutes. Just don’t forget to remove them from the oven before preheating for baking!
