Homemade Breadsticks
Homemade Breadsticks are light, buttery, and oh so delicious! You can make them by hand or in a stand mixer. These easy breadsticks are ready to eat in less than 90 minutes.
Ingredients
Breadstick Dough
- 1 cup warm water 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For Topping:
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil.
- Add in 2 cups of flour. Using a dough hook, turn the mixer on to a low speed. Once the flour starts to incorporate into the dough, increase the speed to a medium range. Slowly add the remaining 1/2 cup of flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough mixture should be slightly sticky and soft, but shouldn't stick to your hands. Add more or less flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased mixing bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise 30 minutes.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Punch dough down and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 9 to 10-inch long rope or snake. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let rise for 20 minutes while the oven preheats.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake breadsticks for 16 to 18 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- While the breadsticks are baking, whisk together the melted butter, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush on top of breadsticks immediately after baking. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese or dried herbs as desired.
Notes
*If using active dry yeast instead of instant dry yeast, use in the same amount, but add 10 minutes to each rising time.
