Ingredients

Breadsticks

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3-3¼ cups flour

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

For Serving

  • marinara sauce

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit until foamy and bubbly.
  • Add the salt, oil, and two cups of flour, and mix to combine. Add the remaining flour, ¼ cup at a time, to form a soft dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Knead until smooth, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for one hour.
  • After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide it into 16 equal pieces.
  • Roll each piece into a 12-inch rope, then cut a 2-3 inch slit on each side of the rope. Roll the dough on either side of the slit into a spiral, in opposite directions, to make a bone shape.
  • Place the breadsticks on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes to an hour, until doubled in size.
  • During the last 10 minutes of rise time, preheat the oven to 425℉. Bake 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, and parmesan. Serve warm.
