Breadsticks

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white sugar, divided
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water, divided
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Grease a baking sheet.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove cover from dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 8

Whisk butter and garlic salt together in a bowl; brush over each breadstick. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each.
