Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup water (warm (110 - 115 degrees), warm to the touch)
- 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoon honey (or agave for vegan recipe)
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
Garlic Butter Topping
- 5 tablespoon butter (unsalted, or vegan butter substitute (ex. margarine))
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Note: this recipe can be made in a stand mixer or mixed by hand in a large bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add the warm water, yeast and sugar. Give it a quick stir and allow to rest for about 5 – 10 minutes, or until all yeast has puffed up/frothed.
- Add in the olive oil and honey. Give it a quick stir.
- Add in half the flour and all of the salt. Using the dough hook (or by hand with a spoon), mix on medium low speed until the dough just starts to come together.
- Add in the remaining flour, mix for about 5-7 minutes on medium low speed until a smooth dough ball forms. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The dough ball will pull away from the sides of the bowl but will still be slightly sticky.
- Transfer the dough ball to a large greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Let rise in a warm draft-free location (ex. oven, not turned on) until doubled in size, about 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the dough bowl. Use your fist to punch down the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (ex. kitchen counter). Tip: lightly flour your hands so the dough does not stick to your hands.
- Use your hands to gently flatten the dough into a large rectangle. Slice the dough into 16 even portions. Roll the dough into 8-9 inch breadsticks and set on a sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap loosely and let rest for 10 minutes.
- While dough is resting, make the garlic butter. Mix together the melted butter, garlic powder and salt.
- Bake the breadsticks for 8-10 minutes on the middle oven rack, or until golden brown. In the last minutes of cooking keep an eye on the breadsticks to ensure they do not get too brown. Every oven bakes differently so be sure to check the breadsticks for your preferred brownness.
- Remove from the oven and brush immediately with garlic butter. Serve warm and enjoy!
