Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, instant yeast, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, combine water, olive oil, and honey. Heat over medium-low heat until the mixture is warm but not hot, about 120°F.

Step 3

Gradually pour the warm liquid mixture into the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until combined.

Step 4

Add another cup of flour and mix until smooth. Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 8

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

Step 9

Roll each portion into a 7-8 inch long stick.

Step 10

Arrange the bread sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, oregano, and basil.

Step 12

Brush the bread sticks lightly with olive oil or melted unsalted butter, then sprinkle with the herb mixture.

Step 13

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 14

Let the bread sticks cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
