Garlic & Parmesan Bread Sticks Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

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

3. 3

   Shape the Breadsticks

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide. Twist each strip and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4. 4

   Add Toppings

   In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the twisted breadsticks.

5. 5

   Bake the Breadsticks

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with olive oil if desired.

6. 6

   Serve

   Let cool slightly before serving. Pair with your choice of 'bone' sauces for dipping.
