Ingredients
- DOUGH:
- 1 3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk warm
- 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup whole milk warm
- GARLIC BUTTER TOPPING:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- OTHER:
- parmesan grated, according to taste
- marinara to dip in
Method
- Stir the yeast, 1/2 cup warm milk and 1/2 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl, cover and leave for 10 minutes until bubbly.
- Whisk the flour, remaining sugar and salt in a large bowl, then add the melted butter, remaining warm milk and the yeast mixture. Mix with a dough hook until the dough is soft, elastic and not sticky.
- Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled.
- Divide the dough into 10 to 12 pieces and roll each into a thin strip about 8 inches long. Lay them spaced apart on two parchment-lined baking sheets, cover and let them rise again until doubled.
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Stir the salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl.
- Bake the breadsticks for 10 to 12 minutes until golden on top. Brush them straight away with melted butter, scatter the seasoning mix and grated parmesan over them, and serve warm with marinara for dipping.
