Ingredients

• 2.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons light butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let stand for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Using a stand mixer with a dough hook or by hand, mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a 7-inch long breadstick and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 9

Cover the breadsticks with a towel and let them rest for another 15 minutes.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix melted light butter with garlic powder and dried oregano.

Step 11

Brush the top of each breadstick with the seasoned butter.

Step 12

Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Once baked, remove from oven and brush with any remaining seasoned butter for extra flavor.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy!
