Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and garlic powder. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with the melted butter. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a long shape, about 8-10 inches in length.
- Cover the shaped breadsticks with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- After the second rise, brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Melt an additional 2 tablespoons of butter and mix in garlic powder if desired. Brush the baked breadsticks with the garlic butter glaze.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
