Ingredients
Breadsticks
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Topping
- 2 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt with parsley flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
- Add the salt, oil, and two cups of flour, and mix until combined. Add additional flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft and only slightly sticky to the touch.
- Knead the dough until smooth, sprinkling with flour as needed to make the dough manageable. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and let rise for at least 30 minutes, or until doubled.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 12 equal sized balls. Roll each ball out into a nine inch rope, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with remaining dough, using two baking sheets. Cover and let rise for 20-30 minutes.
- During the last ten minutes of the rise time, preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt. Serve warm.
