Breadsticks

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto 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). Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin stick.

  6. 6

    Bake the Breadsticks

    Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Prepare Garlic Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the hot breadsticks as soon as they come out of the oven.

  8. 8

    Finish with Cheese

    Sprinkle grated Romano cheese over the breadsticks while they are still warm.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Serve the breadsticks warm with a side of pizza sauce for dipping.
