Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ½ cups milk warmed slightly (see notes)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 ¾ cups bread flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ teaspoon yeast
Garlic Butter
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional, or sub with parsley
Instructions
Make the dough
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Blend together the milk, egg, and melted butter, then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix with the paddle attachment until a dough forms.
Cup of Yum
Knead and rise
- Switch to the dough hook and knead until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a bowl greased lightly with olive oil, cover, and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Shape the breadsticks
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Second rise
- Set the baking sheet in a warm place and let the breadsticks rise until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.
Make the garlic butter
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
Bake
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the breadsticks with the garlic butter and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Finish
- Brush the hot breadsticks with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with parmesan if desired.
Serve
- Arrange the breadsticks on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle the breadsticks with parmesan before baking.
- Proofing Tip: If your kitchen is cold, create a warm environment for the dough to rise by preheating your oven to 200°F (90°C) for a few minutes, then turning it off and placing the covered dough inside to rise.
- Shaping Tip: For even breadsticks, roll the dough pieces on a lightly floured surface to ensure they don’t stick.
- Butter Tip: Melt the butter just before using to ensure it is easy to brush over the breadsticks.
- What to do with leftovers
- Refrigerator. Store any leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
