Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture.
- Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a long, thin rope.
- Shape each rope into a bone shape, tapering the ends.
- Place the shaped breadsticks on the prepared baking sheets.
- Cover the breadsticks loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Brush the breadsticks with the beaten egg wash.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier breadstick, bake for a couple of extra minutes.
- Serve warm with your favorite marinara or garlic butter for dipping.
- You can add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the dough for extra flavor.
