Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    First Rise

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

Shaping and Baking

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 7

    Shape the Breadsticks

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick, about 8-10 inches long.

  3. 8

    Prepare Baking Sheet

    Place the shaped breadsticks on a greased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  4. 9

    Second Rise

    Cover the breadsticks with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 20-30 minutes.

  5. 10

    Apply Toppings

    In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, dried oregano, and parmesan cheese. Brush the mixture over the risen breadsticks.

  6. 11

    Bake

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

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade breadsticks!
