Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients:

  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour King Arthur recommended
  • 1¼ cups warm water
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Topping Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  • Prepare the Dough: Add olive oil, salt, and gradually mix in flour. Knead for 7-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Shape and Prepare: Punch down the dough and divide into two equal portions. Roll each into a rectangle about ½ inch thick. Cut into 1-inch wide strips. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • First Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake breadsticks for 10-12 minutes until just beginning to turn golden.
  • Season and Finish: Brush generously with melted butter mixed with garlic powder, parsley, and salt. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven for an additional 3-4 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh yeast for best results.
  • For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
  • Freeze baked breadsticks for up to 3 months.
Creative Variations:
  • Spicy Jalapeño Breadsticks: Add diced jalapeños and red pepper flakes to the topping.
  • Italian Herb Breadsticks: Replace parsley with an Italian seasoning blend.
  • Cheesy Bacon Breadsticks: Sprinkle crispy bacon bits before the final bake.
  • Vegan Herb Breadsticks: Use olive oil and nutritional yeast for a dairy-free twist.
  • Whole Wheat Adventure: Swap half the flour with whole wheat for a nutty flavor.
