Description
Soft, fluffy, and full of flavor, these Garlic Herb Breadsticks are a perfect side dish for pasta, soups, or salads. Brushed with garlic butter and sprinkled with herbs, they make a comforting and savory addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (110℉/43℃)
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add the vegetable oil, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley.
- Brush the baked breadsticks with the garlic herb butter immediately after removing from the oven. Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure your water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can substitute olive oil for vegetable oil if preferred.
- Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried for a more intense flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
