Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • mixing bowl
  • parchment paper
  • baking sheets

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 1 cup warm water (between 100–110°F, 38–43°C)
  • 2.25 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 3.33 cups bread flour (spooned & leveled), plus more as needed
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • dried parsley for sprinkling on top, optional

Instructions
 

Making the Dough

  • Whisk the warm water, yeast, and sugar together in the bowl of your stand mixer. Allow to sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Add melted butter, salt, 1 cup of bread flour, and garlic powder. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then add remaining flour and beat until the dough pulls away from the sides.
  • Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it bounces back when poked.

Rising the Dough

  • Lightly grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise for 1.5–2 hours until doubled in size.
  • Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into 7 logs and arrange them on prepared baking sheets.
  • Cover shaped breadsticks and allow to rise for 20 minutes.

Baking

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Bake for 18-19 minutes until golden brown.
  • Prepare the topping by melting butter and stirring in salt and garlic powder.
  • Brush baked breadsticks with garlic butter topping and sprinkle with dried parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For storage, cover leftover rolls tightly and store at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze baked breadsticks for up to 3 months.
