Dough
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shaping and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 5 equal pieces.
  3. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape, about 8-10 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian herbs, then brush this mixture over the breadsticks.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of the breadsticks before baking.
