Bread Sticks

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

3

Shape the Bread Sticks

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a long stick shape, about 8-10 inches long. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in garlic powder and mix well. Brush the garlic butter generously over each bread stick.

5

Add Parmesan Cheese

Sprinkle the bread sticks with parmesan cheese.

6

Bake the Bread Sticks

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter.

7

Serve

Serve warm with a cup of pizza sauce for dipping.
