Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water, divided
  • 4 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Instructions

  • In a bowl, place 1/4 cup warm water and sprinkle yeast on top. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  • In a mixer, combine sugar, butter, salt, and 4 cups flour. Add yeast mixture and remaining water. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
  • Add additional flour (1/4 cup or more) and continue mixing until a soft, smooth dough forms.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface and divide it into two one-foot-long logs.
  • Cut each log into 8 even pieces and roll each into a 7-inch-long breadstick (16 total).
  • Place breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1-1 1/2 inches apart. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Brush breadsticks with half of the topping mixture before baking.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden brown.

 

  • After removing from the oven, brush with the remaining butter mixture.

Notes

  • The recipe makes about 16 breadsticks. If you need fewer, halve the recipe for 8 breadsticks.

 

  • To make these extra quick and easy, use frozen bread dough. One loaf makes 8 breadsticks. Frozen rolls can also be used, forming one breadstick per roll.
