Garlic Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup warm water, (105-115ºF)
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, (1 packet)
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the water, yeast, and sugar. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes. Once the yeast dissolves and becomes frothy, add it to a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast mixture to a large mixing bowl along with the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix dough by hand or with the paddle attachment on low speed for 1 minute.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Brush the top of the dough lightly with oil. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and let rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough out into a 6×9 inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 8 strips. Place the strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Combine the butter, garlic powder, and salt. Brush a generous amount of the garlic butter over the top of each breadstick. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.

Dippers are the best! We never had breadsticks in my house, but I think that needs to change. I adore the flavors and the feeling of biting into a warm, garlicky breadstick. 😀
