Soft Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks
First, let’s appreciate this beauty:
Now that our bellies are growling, let’s gather our ingredients:
- 1 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F or 45 degrees C)
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Additional Parmesan for sprinkling
Now, onto the exciting part—making the magic happen! Here are the steps:
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it’s foamy. It’s like giving the yeast a little spa treatment!
- Stir in the olive oil, bread flour, and salt, and mix until a dough forms. Embrace the mess!
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Trust me, dough kneading is an excellent arm workout!
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, around 1 hour. You could say it’s the dough’s time to shine!
- Once your dough is big and fluffy, punch it down (gently, we don’t want dough tears), then roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into strips (about 1 inch wide) and place them on a greased baking sheet. They don’t need to be perfect; a little character goes a long way!
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). While that’s heating, brush the sticks with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and oregano on top.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until they become golden brown and delicious. Your kitchen will smell like a little slice of heaven!
- As soon as they’re out of the oven, sprinkle a little more Parmesan on top because you can never have too much cheese. Serve them hot and watch them disappear!
These Soft Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks will have you and your guests begging for seconds. Trust me, your plate will be emptier than your willpower around these delightful treats. Enjoy your fabulous baking adventure!
