Ingredients

Garlic Salt Topping

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix the granulated garlic, salt, and dried parsley. Set aside.
    2 tablespoon Flakey sea salt, 1 tablespoon Garlic powder, ½ tablespoon Dried parsley
  • Add lukewarm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer. Lightly whisk to combine, and let the yeast sit for 7-10 minutes until it is foamy.
    1 ½ cups Water, 3 teaspoon Active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • Add the flour, salt, and melted butter to the activated yeast. Using a dough hook, knead the dough on low speed for 7-8 minutes until the dough is smooth.
    2 cups Bread flour, 1 ¼ cups All purpose flour, 2 tablespoon Salted butter, 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and cover it with cling wrap or a towel. Place in a warm place for 1 hour until it has doubled in size. Once the dough has been proofed, punch it down to work with it.
  • Portion the dough into 10 equal pieces. Using the palm of your hand, roll the pieces of dough into the shape of a breadstick.
  • Place the breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a towel for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Brush the tops of the breadsticks with part of the melted butter. Bake the breadsticks for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Brush the baked breadsticks with more melted butter, and immediately sprinkle with the garlic salt mix.

Notes

Water temperature: Avoid using very cold, or hot water when activating the yeast as this can kill it. The ideal temperature is approximately 100-110°F.
Signs your yeast is dead: If your active dry yeast does not foam to the top of the water after sitting for 10 minutes, chances are it is dead and will not help the dough rise properly.
Where to proof dough: The best place to keep your dough for quick proofing is in your oven (not heated), or inside your microwave. The warm environment will help your dough rise extra quickly.
Size to roll the dough: Roll your breadsticks thinner than you want the final product to be. They will rise before, and during the baking process and will be larger than the rolled size.
