• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
• Give each strip a twist and place on a greased cookie sheet.

BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Beat flour, oil, egg, salt, remaining sugar, and remaining warm water into yeast mixture until smooth, adding more flour if needed to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to cover completely with oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm area until dough is doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
• Grease a baking sheet.
• Punch dough down and turn onto a floured work surface. Divide dough into 18 pieces and shape each into a 6-inch rope. Arrange dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart; cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove cover from dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Whisk butter and garlic salt together in a bowl; brush over each breadstick. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each.

QUICK HOMEMADE BREADSTICKS RECIPE (35 MINUTES)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved.
• Add in oil and flour and mix until a smooth dough forms and it's no longer sticky.
• Roll out into a 10x12" rectangle.
• Cut into strips about 3/4" - 1" wide.
• Twist each strip once or twice and lay out on a greased baking sheet (I sprayed mine with non-stick cooking spray).
• Let breadsticks rise for 20 minutes (longer if you can, but at least 20 minutes).
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
• When the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
