Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups warm water (110-115˚F)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
- Salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, yeast, and sugar in a stand mixer bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- Add melted butter, salt, and half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed while gradually incorporating the remaining flour until combined.
- Knead the dough on medium-low speed or by hand until smooth and elastic (about 7–10 minutes).
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover loosely, and let rise in a warm area for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Shape the risen dough into small logs (16–18 pieces) about 7 inches long and arrange them on a greased baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Allow shaped breadsticks to rise again for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) while the second rise occurs.
- Bake breadsticks for about 14–15 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush hot breadsticks with a mixture of melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning immediately after baking.
