Breadstick Recipe

Is there anything more satisfying than biting into a delicious, warm breadstick? I think not! You’ll be shocked at how easy these are to make, and a brushing of melted garlic butter is the icing on the cake (the butter on the breadstick?), this Breadstick Recipe has ya covered!

Steps to make Homemade Breadsticks:

Homemade Breadsticks are very easy to make, you only need a few ingredients- and sometimes making bread on its own can seem daunting but alas, we have simplified it into a few easy steps!

Make dough: Combine water, sugar and yeast into a stand mixer. Give it a mix, and allow the yeast to bloom. Once bloomed, add flour and olive oil, and mix in a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.

What blooming does is make sure you are using good yeast. Blooming yeast basically means allowing it to foam in a warm environment, proving you are using good yeast which will allow the bread to rise. If it doesn’t bloom, start over and try again with a new packet.

When done, place dough in greased bowl, cover with a towel, and allow to rise (double in size) for about 30-45 minutes. 

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces, roll into breadsticks. Place on greased sheet pan and allow to rise again under a towel for another 20 minutes. 

Once the second rise is complete, bake them for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.  While they are baking, mix together the butter topping…this is what really makes these pillowy breadsticks so delicious! 

Combine melted butter, parsley (fresh or dried), salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small dish. Using a basting brush, brush each fully baked breadstick with the butter mixture.

Want extra flavor on your breadsticks? You can go over them 2-3 times to add more flavor- chef’s choice. You can also add more spices to your butter mixture- smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, even parmesan or feta would be delish..get creative! Serve them warm and enjoy.
