Garlic Bread Sticks (3) Recipe

Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Breadsticks

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a long stick shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Place the sticks on a greased baking sheet.

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Brush the garlic butter over each breadstick.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the breadsticks for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with additional garlic butter if desired.
