Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray to grease cookie sheets
1 package regular or fast-acting dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
2 to 2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ bread flour or Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt or sesame seed

Steps:

  • Spray cookie sheets with the cooking spray. In a large bowl, place the yeast. In a 1-quart saucepan, heat the water over medium heat until warm and an instant-read thermometer reads 105°F to 115°F. Pour water over yeast; stir until yeast is dissolved. Stir in the sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup oil and 1 cup of the flour. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. With a wooden spoon, stir in enough of the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until dough is soft, leaves side of bowl and is easy to handle (dough maybe slightly sticky).
  • Sprinkle flour lightly on a countertop or large cutting board. Place dough on floured surface. Knead by folding dough toward you, then with the heels of your hands, pushing dough away from you with a short rocking motion. Move dough a quarter turn and repeat. Continue kneading about 5 minutes, sprinkling surface with more flour if dough starts to stick, until dough is smooth and springy. If dough is sticky, lightly flour your hands. Shape dough into a uniform roll that's 10 inches long. Cut roll crosswise into 32 equal parts. Roll each part into a pencil-like rope, 8 inches long for thick breadsticks or 10 inches long for thin breadsticks. Place 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Lightly spray sheets of plastic wrap with cooking spray; cover dough loosely with the plastic wrap, sprayed side down. Let rise in a warm place 20 minutes.
  • Place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack open the egg, letting the yolk fall into the center of the separator and the egg white slip through the slots into the bowl. Cover and refrigerate egg yolk up to 4 days to use in another recipe.
  • Move the oven rack to the middle position of the oven. Heat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, beat the egg white and 1 tablespoon water slightly with a fork or wire whisk. Brush mixture over breadsticks, using a pastry brush; sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake 1 cookie sheet at a time 20 to 25 minutes or until breadsticks are golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Serve warm or cooled.

2 teaspoons sugar

  • Add 3 cups of bread flour, the olive oil, and the salt, and mix on low speed until a stiff dough forms. (If the dough seems sticky, add up to 3/4 cup additional flour (1/4 cup at a time), until it pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.)
  • Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
  • Mist the bowl with non-stick spray, place the dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, and shape each one into a rope (about 6 inches long), placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Mist a sheet of plastic wrap with non-stick spray, place it loosely over the unbaked breadsticks, and allow them to rise for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly brush the breadsticks with egg wash.
  • Bake the breadsticks for 12 to 14 minutes, or until just beginning to turn golden at the tips.
  • Stir the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning together, and brush the mixture over the warm breadsticks.

Yield 18 breadsticks

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons brown sugar
