I have recently perfected The Best Homemade Breadsticks recipe and I am delighted to share it with you today. The best thing about this recipe? You can prepare and cook the breadsticks in under an hour. I usually use bread flour for this recipe, but all-purpose flour works really well too.
Make dough by mixing water, yeast, sugar and salt with flour. I usually use my stand mixer, but this is also easy to mix by hand in a large bowl. Mix until the dough comes easily away from the sides of the bowl and it is soft and smooth and doesn’t stick to your fingers. Once the dough has rested, shape the breadsticks. Rest again before baking until golden on top. Delicious!
To make The Best Homemade Breadsticks, you will need the following ingredients:
Mix 1½ cups of warm water, 2¼ teaspoons of yeast, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt with 1 cup of flour. Mix together and continue to add flour just until the dough comes together and doesn’t stick to the sides of the bowl. Knead for 2 more minutes once the dough is soft and slightly sticky but doesn’t stick to your fingers. Leave to rest in the bowl for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 ºF and brush a rimmed baking sheet with melted butter.
Place the dough on a work surface lightly dusted with flour. Work the dough into a long rectangular shape using your hands or a rolling pin. It should measure approximately 16 x 7 inches.
Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips using a pizza cutter.
Take each dough strip and fold it in half. Twist it a little and place it apart on the baking sheet, leaving ½ an inch between each one.
Lightly season the breadsticks with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and sea salt to taste.
Leave the breadstick dough at room temperature for about 20 minutes to rise.
Place the breadsticks in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown on top.
Serve immediately.
