Delicious Garlic Breadsticks

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano or basil)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until it’s manageable.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide it into 10-12 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a long stick shape.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the rolled breadsticks on a greased baking sheet, making sure to leave space between them.
  7. Melt the remaining butter and mix in the minced garlic and dried herbs. Brush this mixture generously over each breadstick.
  8. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the breadsticks.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  10. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm.

These garlic breadsticks are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they also make great leftovers. Pair them with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra treat. Enjoy your homemade garlic breadsticks!
