Description
These soft and flavorful Garlic Breadsticks are made from a simple homemade dough, brushed with rich garlic butter and parsley. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side for pizza, pasta, or soup!
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups (17½ oz / 497 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 ¾ cups (14 fl oz / 420 ml) lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup (2 oz / 57 g) salted butter, melted
- 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add lukewarm water and olive oil. Knead on medium speed for 10 minutes until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 14 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a 6-inch (15 cm) log and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let rise again for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, prepare the garlic butter by mixing melted butter, crushed garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the breadsticks have risen, brush with half of the garlic butter mixture.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter. Serve warm.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan on top before baking.
- These breadsticks pair perfectly with marinara sauce, soups, or creamy dips.
- If you don’t have a stand mixer, knead the dough by hand for 12–15 minutes.
- You can freeze baked breadsticks for up to 2 months—reheat in the oven before serving.
