How to Make Simple Breadsticks

  1. In a stand mixer, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing with a dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Continue kneading with the dough hook for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 10-inch long breadstick.
  7. Place breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
  8. Lightly spray the breadsticks with cooking spray, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. While still warm, brush with melted butter and sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
