Servings:12quantities adjust to match

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (¼ oz, about 2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • all-purpose flour (about 3 cups), plus extra for dusting
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled, for the dough
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt, for the dough
  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, for brushing
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt, for the topping
  • Marinara sauce, for dipping

Method

  1. Stir the sugar and yeast into the warm water and leave for 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. Mix the flour, melted butter, and 1 tbsp salt in a large bowl, add the yeast mixture, and stir to a dough. Knead for 7–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Put the dough in a bowl brushed with the olive oil, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, divide into 12 equal pieces, and roll each into a rope about 7¾ in long. Lay them on two parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Cover loosely and leave to rise again for about 45 minutes, until puffy. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until pale golden.
  7. Mix the melted butter for brushing with the garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt, and brush it generously over the hot breadsticks.
  8. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
