Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt; mix well. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
Kneading and Rising
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Shaping
- Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 5 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape, about 8-10 inches long.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano; brush this mixture over the breadsticks. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serving
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade breadsticks!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture. These breadsticks are best served warm. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
