Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika and garlic powder with the melted butter.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, thin rope approximately 10 inches in length.

Step 8

Brush each breadstick with the smoked paprika and garlic butter mixture using a pastry brush.

Step 9

Spread the grated Parmesan cheese on a plate. Roll each buttered breadstick in the Parmesan to coat evenly.

Step 10

Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each one.

Step 11

Bake the breadsticks for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 12

Optional: Sprinkle the baked breadsticks with fresh parsley before serving for added flavor and presentation.

Step 13
