Breadsticks
Dough:
1 packet active dry yeast (I used the fast rising kind)
4 1/4 cups flour, plus a little extra for dusting
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp fine salt
water
Topping:
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/8-1/4 tsp garlic powder (or to taste)
Pinch of dried oregano
Parmesan Cheese (I added this one to it)
1. Place 1/4 cup water in mixing bowl, add the yeast and let dissolve.
2. Add flour, butter, sugar, salt, and 1 1/4 cups water plus 2 tbsp.
3. Mix together until a stick dough forms
4. Knead the dough until it is very smooth and soft. You can knead it by hand or with a stand mixer, if you have one.
5. Shape the breadsticks however you want. You can roll them out or twist them. I like to braid mine, so I just roll out three strips and then braid them together. Really though, shaping breadsticks is the easy and fun part so get creative and try something new!
6. Place the shaped breadsticks on a baking sheet. Cover and let them rise until they have doubled. It should take around 45 mins to an hour.
7. Bake at 400 degrees until they are light to golden brown. (If desired, you can put the butter and salt on them before baking, I just did it all after.)
8. Make the topping by mixing all the ingredients, except the Parmesan Cheese, together.
9. When the breadsticks come out, top with the topping and the cheese and that's it!
