Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups warm water (110-115˚F)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons melted butter (for topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon – 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing warm water with yeast and sugar; let it foam for about 5-10 minutes.
- In a stand mixer, combine melted butter, salt, and half of the flour. Gradually add the remaining flour while mixing on low speed until incorporated. Knead until smooth and elastic (7-10 minutes).
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size (1 to 1.5 hours).
- Punch down the dough, shape it into logs, and divide into even pieces (16-18). Roll each piece to form thin logs.
- Arrange on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise again for another hour.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), then bake for about 14-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Combine melted butter with salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush over warm breadsticks before serving.
