Servings 12 breadsticks

Equipment

  • Electric stand mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pizza Cutter

Ingredients
  

Breadsticks

  • 1 ½ cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F°)
  • 1 Tablespoon instant yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, melted

Garlic Parmesan Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup powdered Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 Tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • In an electric stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix together the warm water, yeast, sugar, salt, and one cup of the flour.
  • Continue adding the flour until the dough clears the sides of the bowl; knead for about three minutes. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky without leaving residue on your fingers.
  • Let the dough rest in the bowl for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the melted butter onto a large, rimmed baking sheet and spread it evenly.
  • On a lightly greased countertop, pat the dough into a long rectangle, about 16x7 inches. Cut the dough into 12 even strips with a pizza cutter. Twist each strip and place them side-by-side on the baking sheet.
  • Mix all the seasoning ingredients. Sprinkle the seasoning over the breadsticks. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 20 minutes.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Let cool slightly before serving.
