Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dough using your preferred method: bread machine, mixer, or by hand.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle measuring 10×12 inches.
  • Cut the dough into strips about ¾ inch wide.
  • Place the strips on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Allow the strips to rise for at least 20 minutes. If you have more time, let them rise longer.
  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • Bake the breadsticks for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Brush the baked breadsticks with butter.
  • Sprinkle garlic salt, fresh ground pepper, and parmesan cheese over the breadsticks.

Notes

To Reheat: Just preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, place the breadsticks on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes or until they’re warm and crispy again. If you’re dealing with breadsticks that are a bit dry, wrapping them in foil before reheating can help keep them soft.

Tips and Tricks


Rising Dough: If your dough isn’t rising, place it in a warm spot or even on top of a preheating oven. Warmth gives yeast a nice boost.

Browning: To get that perfect golden-brown crust, brush the breadsticks with melted butter before baking. It adds flavor and color.

Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt on top before baking for an extra pop of flavor and a bit of crunch.

Parmesan Cheese: Fresh is best! Grate your own Parmesan cheese for topping—it’s more flavorful than the pre-grated kind.

Herbs: For a twist, try mixing in some dried herbs like oregano or basil into the dough before baking for an herby flavor.

Reheating: Just preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, place the breadsticks on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes or until they’re warm and crispy again. If you’re dealing with breadsticks that are a bit dry, wrapping them in foil before reheating can help keep them soft.
