Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 ¼ cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour and salt. Add melted butter and the foamy yeast mixture. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a square on your countertop. Divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape.
- Place the shaped breadsticks on a lined baking sheet. Cover them with a kitchen towel and let them rise for about 45 minutes, until they are puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the breadsticks for about 12 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
- While the breadsticks are baking, mix melted butter and garlic salt together.
- Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture while they are still warm. Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving.
