Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 16 equal pieces.

Step 7

Roll each piece into a long, thin stick about 20 cm (8 inches) in length.

Step 8

Place the rolled breadsticks onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg and use it to brush the surface of the breadsticks.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano over the breadsticks for extra flavor.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Step 13

Serve the breadsticks warm or at room temperature with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside soups and salads.
