Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105 to 115 degrees F.)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon active rise yeast
- 16 ounces bread flour (3 cups)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- On Top
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Preparation
Step 1
1. Dissolve sugar and yeast in water in a small bowl or measuring cup and let mixture sit for 5 minutes or until it becomes foamy on top.
2. Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use the paddle attachment on a stand mixer to mix softened butter into flour. If you don't have a stand mixer use a mixing spoon to combine butter with flour. When the yeast mixture is foamy pour it into flour and use a dough hook on your mixture to combine ingredients and knead dough for approximately 10 minutes. If you don't have a stand mixer, combine ingredients and then knead dough by hand on a countertop for 10 minutes. Place dough in a covered container and let it sit for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until it doubles in size.
3. When the dough has doubled, measure out 2-ounce portions and roll the dough between your hands or on a countertop to form sticks that are 7 inches long. Place the dough on parchment paper lined baking sheets and cover for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until dough doubles in size once again.
4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5. Bake breadsticks for 12 minutes or until golden brown. When breadsticks come out of the oven, I'mmediately brush each one with melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic salt.
