Ingredients
Breadstick Dough:
- 1 cup warm water about 110 degrees Fahrenheit
- 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 melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
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.
