Tips:

  • Activate the Yeast Properly: Ensure the water is between 105-115°F (40-46°C) to activate the yeast effectively.
  • Quality Ingredients Matter: Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Fresh herbs, grated parmesan, and flavorful butter make a big difference.
  • Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading the dough develops gluten, resulting in a chewy and elastic texture. Knead for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Proof the Dough Patiently: Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This step ensures a light and airy texture.

  • Let Them Cool Slightly: Allow the breadsticks to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving to prevent them from falling apart.
