The recipe is pretty simple, only a few ingredients, and the wait time for rising is only 45 minutes. These are definitely doable in a short period of time. They are just oh-so good when you brush a freshly baked breadstick with butter and sprinkle on a little salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Yum!
Paired with some pasta, you have a nice meal! I used this recipe here and added in some shredded roasted chicken breasts.
"Almost Famous" Breadsticks
(adapted from food network )
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 4 1/4 cups AP flour & more for dusting
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
topping:
- 3 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp oregano
In a stand mixer, pour 1/4 cup warm water into the bowl and sprinkle the package of yeast over it. Let sit for 5 minutes.

| it should start to get foamy like this |
Using the dough hook [*the recipe says use the paddle attachment, but I think the dough hook works better, since this is dough], mix the flour, sugar, salt, butter with another 1 1/4 cups + 2 tbsp of warm water. Mix for 5 minutes until a slightly sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead for about 3 minutes by hand.
Roll the dough into a 24 inch log and then cut that log into 16 1 1/2 inch pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a 7 inch breadstick.
Place on a baking sheet (I needed 2 for this recipe) lined with parchment or a silpat, 2 inches apart.

Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes. [*I put them in an unheated oven]

| after the rise |
They should rise to almost double their size.
Preheat the oven to 400F. Brush the tops with half of the melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt.
Bake for 15 minutes and brush with the rest of the melted butter and sprinkle with the garlic and oregano salt when hot.
Enjoy!
