| Servings | 12 breadsticks |
Ingredients
- 2 cups warm water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5-6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add vegetable oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long stick shape.
- Place the breadsticks on a lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the mixture over the warm breadsticks.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dip!
