Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¾ cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Activate the yeast: Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and garlic powder.
- Combine wet ingredients: Add the frothy yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 1 hour).
- Shape the breadsticks: Roll out the risen dough into rectangles and cut into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip for added texture and place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving.
Notes
- For enhanced flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or substituting mozzarella cheese.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
