How to Make Garlic Butter Breadsticks
Making breadsticks from scratch is incredibly easy requiring minimal ingredients and a few simple steps. This recipe in particular yields the most soft and fluffy breadsticks that are elevated with the addition of a flavorful garlic butter topping. To make this recipe, you will need the key ingredients shared below.
Key Ingredients
- All Purpose Flour
- Active Dry Yeast
- Granulated Sugar
- Salt
- Water
- Neutral Flavored Oil
- Egg
- Unsalted Butter
- Garlic Powder
- Fresh Parsley
Preparation
- Activate Yeast – in the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the warmed water, sugar and yeast. Cover bowl and set aside to allow the yeast to become activated, about 8-10 minutes. Yeast mixture should appear foamy in appearance.
- Make and Knead Dough – add the flour, salt and oil into bowl with activated yeast. With the dough hook attached, mix the ingredients together at low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead the dough until smooth but soft to touch, about 5-6 minutes.
- Proof Dough – use lightly greased or wet hands to transfer the dough into a greased mixing bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm area to rise for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Shaped Breadsticks – deflate the dough allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into (12) equal pieces and shaping into roughly an 7 to 8 inch log. Transfer shaped dough to (2) parchment lined baking sheets spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
- Bake – preheat oven to 400F. In a small dish, whisk together the egg and water. Use a pastry brush to apply egg wash to risen breadstick dough. Bake breadsticks rotating the baking sheets halfway through bake time for 18-20 or until golden brown in appearance. If your oven runs hot, check on the breadsticks at the 16 minute mark.
- Assembly – in a small saucepan, melt the butter under medium heat. Remove from heat. Whisk in the parsley, garlic powder and salt. Use a pastry brush to generously coat the breadsticks with the garlic butter. Serve breadsticks with your favorite dish.
