These are nice and soft and very fast to make. I make them often for weeknight dinners. The dough is easily made by hand or in the bread machine.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c bread flour (a/p flour will do in a pinch)
2 1/2 tsp fast acting yeast
1 c water, 120 degrees
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1/4 c olive oil
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp italian seasoning (optional)
1 tsp minced garlic (optional)
1 Tbsp grated parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375*.
  • 2. TO MAKE DOUGH BY HAND: Stir yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar into the warm water, set aside to proof.
  • 3. In a medium bowl mix together flour, salt, remaining sugar, and any of the optional ingredients you wish to use.
  • 4. To the flour mixture add the proofed yeast mixture and the oil. Stir well. Once dough starts to come together, knead 5 minutes on a floured surface. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • 5. While dough is resting line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 6. Roll dough into a 12x12 inch rectangle. Cut into 1/2 inch strips. Twist each strip slightly and place on baking sheet.
  • 7. Let rise for 20 minutes, covered, in a warm place (about 80*).
  • 8. Bake approx. 15 minutes, until golden brown. Brush hot breadsticks with melted butter. Serve & enjoy!
  • 9. BREAD MACHINE METHOD: Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order prescribed by the manufacturer. Use dough setting. Remove dough after kneading, and before the first rise begins. Go to Step 5.
