Breadsticks

Marinara Sauce

Method

Breadsticks

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil together.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the yeast is activated, add it along with the olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

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

  5. 5

    First Rise

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

  6. 6

    Shape the Breadsticks

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle and cut into strips of desired width.

  7. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the strips on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  8. 8

    Preheat Oven

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

  9. 9

    Bake

    Brush the tops of the breadsticks with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
