Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 150 ml Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 bottle Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure evenly distributed yeast and seasonings.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 5
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) or your oven to the same temperature.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, punch it down lightly and transfer it to a floured surface.
Step 7
Roll the dough out into a rectangle, about 1 cm thick.
Step 8
Cut the dough into strips, approximately 1 cm wide and 15 cm long, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Step 9
Lightly spray the breadsticks with the cooking spray on both sides, and then carefully place them in the air fryer basket or on a non-stick baking sheet.
Step 10
Cook the breadsticks in the air fryer or bake them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
While the breadsticks are cooking, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Step 12
As soon as the breadsticks are done, remove them from the air fryer or oven and immediately sprinkle them with the cheese and herb mixture while still hot.
Step 13
Allow them to cool slightly and serve warm as a delightful low-fat snack or appetizer!
