Breadsticks with Garlic and Parmesan

Enjoy warm, fresh, homemade breadsticks baked to golden perfection as a delicious side for your next dinner.

Breadsticks are one of my favorite side dishes. Well, anything with bread, really, but especially breadsticks. They go great with pasta, though I could eat them with almost any meal. We had them with fettuccine alfredo which was a perfect combination.

I’ve had this recipe for a long time and finally decided to give it a try. I really wish I had tried it sooner because the breadsticks are delicious! I believe the original recipe was in the book that came with my stand mixer. You can still make this without a stand mixer, you’ll just have to knead the dough by hand.

I was able to get about 24 breadsticks from this recipe. The number will depend on how you cut the dough and how thick you make them. We topped ours with cheese, but you could skip that if you prefer more traditional breadsticks.

We weren’t able to eat all of the breadsticks the night I made them, even though we did eat about half. The rest were put in an airtight container and were just as good the next day. The way I love breadsticks, I may have eaten one or two for breakfast in the morning!

Breadsticks with Garlic and Parmesan Step by Step

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp active dry yeast
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 3/4 cups parmesan cheese

Preparation

Use the dough hook of a stand mixer to combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Raise the hook and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Add the salt and flour, one cup at a time, and mix it on high for 5 minutes.

Let the dough rest again for another 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the butter and pour half of it into a jellyroll pan.

Place the dough in the center of the pan and let it rest another 2-3 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 170F. Carefully spread the dough flat until it reaches the edges of the pan.

Spread the rest of the butter on the dough evenly.

Sprinkle the dough with garlic powder and parmesan cheese.

Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough in half lengthwise and 12 columns to make 24 breadsticks.

Bake the breadsticks for 7 minutes then increase the temperature to 350F and bake another 12 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Remove the pan from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Use a pizza cutter to recut the breadsticks and serve.
