Description
Easy recipe for soft, buttery, and flavorful garlic breadsticks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for brushing
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down dough and divide into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 10-12 inches long.
- Place breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While breadsticks are baking, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese (if using).
- Brush the warm breadsticks generously with the garlic butter mixture immediately after removing them from the oven.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter.
- Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce or as a side to any meal.
