Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1/2 cup butter
- parmesan cheese
- garlic powder
- parsley flakes
How To Make Soft Homemade Breadsticks
Step 1: Proof The Yeast – Combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This indicates that the yeast is activated and ready to use.
Step 2: Mix The dough – In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add flour mixture to yeast mixture. Using a dough hook, mix until a dough forms. Mix with the dough hook for 2 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour as needed until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
Step 3: Rise – Cover bowl with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Step 4: Prep Pan And Preheat The Oven – Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Melt butter and pour on to a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic powder, parsley and parmesan cheese on top of butter.
Step 5: Shape The Breadsticks – Lightly spray either a pastry mat or your clean counters with a cooking spray. Roll dough out to roughly the size of the baking sheet with a greased rolling pin. Use a pizza cutter to cut dough into strips. Fold each strip in half and twist. Dredge each twisted breadstick in the butter mixture and place on the baking sheet.
Step 6: Bake – Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Step 7: Serve And Enjoy – Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving. These soft homemade breadsticks are perfect as a side dish for pasta, soups, salads, or enjoyed on their own as a tasty snack.
