  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon salt

Butter Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and allow to sit for 10 minutes to activate yeast.
  • Add flour, salt and melted butter to yeast mixture. Mix with paddle attachment of stand mixer or wooden spoon until fully combined.
  • Knead dough for a few minutes just until dough is smooth in consistency. Do not overknead!
  • Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Pull off pieces of dough and roll out into strips. Cover the dough with a light towel and let sit in a warm place for 45 minutes to an hour to allow dough to rest and rise.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Once oven has preheated, place the cookie sheet in oven and bake breadsticks for 6-7 minutes.
  • While breadsticks are cooking, microwave 1/2 cup butter, 2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • After bread sticks have cooked for 6 or 7 minutes, brush the bread sticks with half the butter mixture. Then continue to bake for 5-8 more minutes.
  • After removing breadsticks from oven, immediately brush the other half of the butter on the sticks.
  • Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.
