Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delightful breadsticks:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
If you’re missing an ingredient or two, don’t worry. You can substitute fresh herbs for dried ones or use garlic powder in place of fresh garlic. The goal here is simplicity and taste, not perfection.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of Garlic Herb Parmesan Breadsticks.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. This is a great time to involve the kids; let them have some fun with the dough!
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a stick, about 8 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme.
- Brush the garlic herb butter generously over each breadstick, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and fragrant.
- Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, cheesy, garlicky goodness!
And there you have it, folks! A kitchen filled with the aroma of fresh bread—just like those busy evenings at home with my family.
