Breadsticks

Alfredo Sauce

Method

Breadsticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour along with olive oil and garlic powder. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Breadsticks

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick shape about 6 inches long.

  6. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  7. 7

    Bake the Breadsticks

    Place the shaped breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
