Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F (45 degrees C))
2 ½ cups bread flour
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate properly.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough for at least 5 minutes will help develop the gluten and make the breadsticks chewy and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A warm place like a turned-off oven with a bowl of hot water inside can help the dough rise faster.
  • Shape the breadsticks evenly: Roll the dough into a long rope and cut it into equal pieces to ensure even baking.
  • Brush the breadsticks with melted butter: This will give the breadsticks a golden brown color and a crispy crust.
  • Sprinkle the breadsticks with herbs and cheese: This will add extra flavor and texture to the breadsticks.
  • Bake the breadsticks until golden brown: Keep an eye on the breadsticks while they're baking to ensure they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

These herbed soft breadsticks are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. With their soft and chewy texture, flavorful herbs, and crispy crust, these breadsticks are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get baking!
