Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Topping
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking sheet
  • Plastic wrap

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water, then let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 7 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a 8-10 inch long breadstick shape.
  3. Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. While the breadsticks are still warm, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the topping. These breadsticks are best served warm and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
