Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Oil and Butter:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Awaken the yeast by blending warm water, sugar, and yeast in a compact vessel. Allow the mixture to bloom and become frothy for 5-10 minutes.
- Combine flour and salt in a spacious mixing bowl. Incorporate the activated yeast mixture and olive oil, gently stirring until a cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly dusted work surface. Massage and knead thoroughly for approximately 5 minutes until achieving a silky, elastic consistency.
- Nestle the dough into a greased container, drape with a dampened cloth, and position in a cozy environment. Let the dough expand and double in volume over 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Deflate the risen dough and roll into a rectangular shape approximately ½ inch thick.
- Slice the dough into 12-15 uniform strips. Carefully arrange the strips on a prepared baking sheet.
- Lavish the dough strips with melted butter. Generously dust with garlic powder, crumbled oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake until the breadsticks transform into a golden, crispy delicacy, roughly 12-15 minutes.
- Retrieve from the oven and serve immediately alongside marinara sauce for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Activate yeast precisely by using water between 100-110°F to ensure proper fermentation without killing the microorganisms.
- Choose bread flour for higher protein content, creating chewier and more structured breadsticks with better texture.
- Allow sufficient rising time in a draft-free, warm environment like near a preheated oven to help dough develop complex flavors and soft interior.
- Experiment with herb variations like adding dried basil, thyme, or rosemary to customize the seasoning blend and create unique flavor profiles.
