Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water 95 - 100°
  • 1 package Red Star Platinum Yeast 2 1/4 teaspoons or active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for greasing the bowl
  • 3- 4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

for the garlic butter:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves grated or finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Add warm water to a mixer bowl with yeast, sugar and oil, stir to combine.
  • Next, add 3 cups of flour and salt.
  • Mix on low speed using the dough hook until all combined. Raise to medium - high speed and knead for 3- 5 minutes adding 1/4 cup of flour as needed. Dough will pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Grease a large bowl and add dough, turning to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise about an hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and flour a clean surface. Roll dough into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle.
  • Slice dough in half horizontally and then into 2 inch strips.
  • Grease or line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Place dough strips onto baking sheets and set aside to rise about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Bake breadsticks 12- 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Prepare garlic butter by combining butter and garlic in a small pan. Cook for about 5 minutes over low heat. Stir in chopped parsley. Brush over baked breadsticks and serve immediately.
