Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Equipment

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk until dissolved.
  2. Add all-purpose flour and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Cut the dough into 1 inch wide strips and twist each strip into a breadstick shape.
  8. Brush the breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder if desired.
  9. Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a softer crust, brush the breadsticks with butter immediately after removing them from the oven.
  • If you don't have a warm place to let the dough rise, you can preheat your oven to 200°F, turn it off, and place the covered bowl inside for 30 minutes.
  • If you want to make the breadsticks in advance, you can freeze them after they have cooled down. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Recipes FAQ

  • Can I use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour?

    • Yes, you can use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. However, bread flour has a higher gluten content so you may need to adjust the amount of water in the recipe.

  • What if I don't have active dry yeast?

    • You can use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. Simply add the instant yeast directly to the flour and skip the step of dissolving it in water.

  • Can I make the breadsticks without Parmesan cheese and garlic powder?

    • Yes, you can omit the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder if you prefer plain breadsticks.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water is warm but not too hot. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast and prevent the dough from rising.
  • Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This will help activate the gluten in the flour and give the breadsticks a better texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place to help it double in size. This will make the breadsticks lighter and fluffier.
  • Twist the breadsticks tightly to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
