Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3/4 cup Warm water
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Topping (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Plastic wrap
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Pastry brush (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the olive oil, flour, and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
  1. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  2. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it 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, divide it into 7 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a 8-10 inch long rope.
  3. Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Finishing (optional)
  1. For a flavorful topping, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  2. Brush the warm breadsticks with the butter mixture before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add herbs like dried oregano or Italian seasoning to the dough. These breadsticks are best served warm and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving to restore their crispness.
