How to Make Homemade Breadsticks
Making these delicious homemade breadsticks is super easy. Here’s what you need to do step by step:
First, start by dissolving sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the yeast to become active. This is when it becomes foamy on top.
Next, combine flour, butter, and salt in a large bowl. Using a paddle attachment in a stand mixer, mix the butter and flour or until the butter is well incorporated. This will take about 5 minutes.
Then switch the paddle for the dough hook attachment. With the mixer running, pour the water/yeast mixture into the flour, and let it knead for about 10 minutes until it starts looking smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke about 6 holes in the plastic wrap, cover with a clean cloth and let the dough proof for 1 ½ hour in a warm place or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has proofed, measure out 2-ounce portions and roll the dough on a flour-dusted surface to form breadsticks, about 8 inches long.
Place breadsticks dough on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let them rise for 1 hour.
Now preheat the oven to 400 F (205 C). Bake breadsticks for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, and immediately brush each breadstick with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt or garlic powder.
Your delicious homemade breadsticks are ready to be served!
