Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Whey protein isolate
• 5 grams Instant yeast
• 100 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a dough.

Step 3

Add salt, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil to the dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air and roll it out on a floured surface to about ½-inch thickness.

Step 6

Slice the dough into long, thin strips to form breadsticks.

Step 7

Preheat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully add the breadsticks to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Remove the breadsticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

While the breadsticks are still warm, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over them.

Step 11

Serve the breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
