THE ULTIMATE BREADSTICKS



The Ultimate Breadsticks image

I did it! I finally found the recipe for the absolute best breadsticks. This recipe makes big, beautiful breadsticks and lots of them too. I experimented with the original recipe and made several adjustments and made many variations as well. The recipe can easily be halved, but you might as well make them all and freeze what you don't use (we never have to do this though, they all get gobbled up).

Time 2h15m

Yield 32 huge breadsticks

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons dry yeast
3 cups lukewarm water, divided
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup oil
8 cups flour
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 1/2 t. garlic salt may be added depending on variation used)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1 cup of water with sugar.
  • Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients except the butter.
  • Stir into dough and knead until smooth and elastic and slightly sticky (I use a heavy- duty mixer).
  • Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down. Divide dough in half.
  • Roll one half dough out into a 12 x 18 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
  • Brush with melted butter.
  • Cut dough in half vertically, and then cut horizontally into 8 strips (16 bread sticks from one half of dough).
  • Repeat this same step with other half of dough. You should have 32 bread sticks all together.
  • Now at this point you can do the following variations:.
  • Cheesy Bread Sticks: Press buttered side down of breadstick in freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Twist bread stick multiple times and lay out on parchment lined cookie sheets. (I do about 8 to a pan-parchment necessary so the cheese won't stick to the pan). Cover and let rise 30 minutes or until double in bulk and then bake. After baking, brush with remaining melted garlic butter.
  • Garlic Butter Bread Sticks: Twist bread sticks that have already been spread with garlic butter mixture. Place on greased baking sheet and let rise 30 minutes. After baking, brush again with melted garlic butter.
  • Herb & Cheese Breadsticks: Use plain melted butter to spread on dough, then sprinkle bread sticks with Parmesan cheese and Salad Supreme. Place on sprayed baking sheets and let rise 30 minutes before baking. Brush again with remaining melted butter after baking.
  • Pizza Breadsticks: Let buttered bread sticks rise on parchment lined baking sheets 30 minutes. Spread with pizza sauce and place pepperoni on top. The last 5 minutes of baking add shredded cheese.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Breadsticks: Dip bread sticks in 1 stick melted of butter (skip the brush with melted butter step). Roll in a mixture of 2 cups brown sugar and about 1 Tbsp cinnamon (might need more sugar mixture depending on how much you use). Twist and let rise on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake.
  • *Spray pans or use parchment paper and cover lightly while rising.
  • **Let bread sticks rise 30 minutes before baking.
  • ***Note all bread sticks will be cooked 15 to 18 minutes at 350° or until lightly browned.

Valuable Tips When Making Amazing Bread Sticks Recipes

Bread sticks are a classic and easy addition to any meal. They are a favorite in Italian restaurants and make for an excellent snack. With the right ingredients and tools, you can make amazing bread sticks that your family and guests will love. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making bread sticks.
1. Choose the right flour
When it comes to bread sticks, the type of flour you use can make a huge difference in the result. While all-purpose flour can work, it's best to use bread flour or high-gluten flour. This is because these types of flour have a higher protein content, which creates more gluten when kneading. As a result, the bread sticks will be more elastic and chewy.
2. Pay attention to room temperature
The temperature of your kitchen can affect the rise of your dough, which ultimately determines the texture of your bread sticks. Yeast is most effective when it's warm, so make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start. If your kitchen is too cold, try preheating your oven and placing the dough near the warm oven to help it rise.
3. Knead the dough thoroughly
Kneading the dough properly is crucial for creating the perfect texture in your bread sticks. It helps create gluten, which translates to a chewy and airy texture. Make sure to knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, which can take 5-10 minutes. If you don't knead the dough enough, the bread sticks may become dense and heavy.
4. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife
Cutting the dough into strips or sticks can be challenging, especially if the dough is sticky. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife can make the process easier and give you cleaner cuts. A pizza cutter is also useful for creating unique shapes like twists or braids.
5. Season the bread sticks
While plain bread sticks are delicious, seasoning them can take them to the next level. Some ideas for seasoning include garlic powder, parmesan cheese, oregano, rosemary, or even red pepper flakes. Brushing the bread sticks with a little bit of melted butter before seasoning will help the seasoning stick to the bread.
6. Don't overbake the bread sticks
Bread sticks can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds. Keep a close eye on them while they bake and take them out of the oven as soon as they turn a light golden brown color. Overbaking can make them dry and tough to chew.
7. Serve with dipping sauce
Bread sticks are perfect for dipping. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces like marinara, alfredo, ranch, or even garlic butter. The dipping sauce can add an extra layer of flavor to the bread sticks and make them even more irresistible.
8. Store properly
If you have leftover bread sticks, make sure to store them properly to keep them fresh. Wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container. They will last for up to 3-4 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator. If you want to reheat them, wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

Conclusion

Making amazing bread sticks is easy with the right ingredients, tools, and methods. When you choose the right flour, pay attention to room temperature, knead the dough thoroughly, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife, season the bread sticks, don't overbake them, serve them with dipping sauce, and store them properly, you will have delicious bread sticks every time. Try these valuable tips the next time you make bread sticks and see how much better they turn out!
