Breadsticks

Tomato Sauce

Method

Breadsticks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, salt, and garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, mixing 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 it Rise

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

  5. 5

    Shape the Breadsticks

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough, divide into equal pieces, and shape each piece into a long stick.

  6. 6

    Add Toppings

    Place the shaped breadsticks on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and dried herbs.

  7. 7

    Bake

    Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Tomato Sauce

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  2. 9

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  3. 10

    Simmer
