Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir slightly and let sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
Step 2
Melt 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 3
Add melted butter, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. Gradually add remaining flour, a half-cup at a time, stirring until the dough is smooth and only slightly sticky.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-6 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 7
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a breadstick shape, about 6 inches long.
Step 8
Arrange the breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
Step 9
Brush each breadstick with olive oil and sprinkle with a mixture of garlic powder and dried parsley.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
Step 11
While still warm, brush the breadsticks with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious, low-sodium treats!
