Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (or active dry yeast)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for dough)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water with yeast and sugar or honey, allowing it to sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbles form.

  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. Punch down the dough, divide it into 16 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a breadstick shape.

  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake the breadsticks for 12-15 minutes until golden.
  9. While baking, melt the butter for the topping and mix in garlic powder.
  10. Brush the baked breadsticks with the garlic-butter mixture and sprinkle with additional garlic powder and salt if desired.
  11. Serve warm and enjoy!
