Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic salt
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 5

Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and gently deflate it. Roll the dough out into a rectangle approximately 10 x 12 inches.

Step 6

Cut the dough into 16 equal strips. Roll each strip slightly between your hands to create breadstick shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.

Step 8

While the breadsticks bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the garlic salt and mix well.

Step 9

Remove the baked breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the garlic butter.

Step 10

Sprinkle the warm breadsticks evenly with the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Crazy Bread!
