Ingredients
  

Breadstick Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
Topping
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • floured surface
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • small bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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
  1. 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.
