Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups very warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast ((2 1/4 teaspoons))
  • 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour ((I like White Lily flour))
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter ((1/2 stick))
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon table salt

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and allow to sit for 10 minutes, covered. Mixture should be frothy.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer or medium-sized bowl, combine flour and salt.
  • Add yeast mixture and melted butter to flour mixture.
  • Mix with dough hook attachment on stand mixer or stir until fully combined.
  • Knead dough for a few minutes (about 7-8 minutes) just until dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Pull off pieces of dough and roll out into strips. Remember these are going to double in size!
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray (so dough doesn't stick to it from the inside) or cover with a clean kitchen towel and put in a warm place to rise.
  • Once they have doubled in size (about an hour), preheat oven up to 400F degrees.
  • Once oven has reached temperature, take plastic wrap (or dish towel) off of breadsticks and put in the oven to bake.
  • While they are baking, make butter topping. Microwave butter until melted and add garlic powder and salt, stir until combined.
  • After 6 or 7 minutes of baking, brush the bread sticks with half the butter mixture.
  • Then continue to bake for another 6-7 minutes.
  • Immediately upon removal from the oven, brush the other half of the butter on the sticks.
