Provided by Andi

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups bread flour
3 teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened
¼ cup hot water
½ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Fit your food processor with a steel blade. Place the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and softened butter in the processor; pulse to blend. Stir together hot water, milk and egg. Start the processor and slowly pour in the milk mixture into the feed tube until a ball forms around the blade. Run for 30 seconds to knead. Remove dough from processor and knead briefly by hand. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x12 inch rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough lengthwise into ten strips, and then cut these strips in half. Brush tops of strips with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover, and let rise until nearly double, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn broiler on, and brush breadsticks with remaining melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Broil just until the cheese starts to turn light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

SOFT BREADSTICKS



Soft Breadsticks image

Fun Fact: The average American consumes, around 53 pounds of bread per year!

Provided by Amy H.

Categories     Savory Breads

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 c bread flour
2 1/2 tsp dry, jarred yeast
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 c warm water (120 degrees)
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp honey
1 egg yolk
1 egg white
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of the flour with 2 1/2 tsp. dry yeast, and salt, with a wire whisk.
  • 2. In another bowl, combine, warm water, olive oil, honey, and egg yolk.
  • 3. Add to dry mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowls constantly. Increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in remaining flour.
  • 4. Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes.
  • 5. Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat dough completely. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (About an hour.)
  • 6. Punch dough down. Cover with damp cloth and let rest 10 minutes.
  • 7. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • 8. Divide dough in half. Divide each portion into 8 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a 6-8 inch rope and place 2 inches apart on baking dish. Cover and let rise 45 minutes more.
  • 9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • 10. Beat together egg white and 1 tbsp. water with a wire whisk. Brush over breadsticks and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • 11. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast should be proofed in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. Instant yeast can be added directly to the dry ingredients.
  • Use bread flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a chewier breadstick.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the breadsticks a better texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the breadsticks light and fluffy.
  • Brush the breadsticks with melted butter before baking: This will help them to brown and give them a crispy crust.
  • Serve the breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce: Marinara sauce, garlic butter, or even just olive oil are all great options.

Conclusion:

Soft breadsticks are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With the right ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create soft breadsticks that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
