Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and softened butter. Mix until dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 7–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape about 7 inches long.
  5. Place breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake breadsticks for 12–15 minutes or until lightly golden.
  7. While still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For softer breadsticks, cover with a kitchen towel immediately after baking.
  • You can freeze dough before baking or freeze baked breadsticks and reheat as needed.
  • Use bread flour for a slightly chewier texture if desired.
