  • Quick and easy to make.
  • Perfect for parties or family dinners.
  • Customizable with your favorite herbs.
  • Great for dipping in marinara or olive oil.
  • Freshly baked aroma that fills your kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for topping)

How to Make Herb-Infused Garlic Breadsticks

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
  8. Brush the herb-garlic mixture over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
  9. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
  10. Twist each strip and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt over the top.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Knead the dough well to develop gluten for a better texture.
  • Let the breadsticks cool slightly before serving for easier handling and enhanced flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the herbs for your favorites, like basil or oregano, for a different flavor profile.
  • Add grated Parmesan cheese to the herb mixture for a cheesy twist.
  • Brush with melted butter instead of olive oil for a richer taste.

What to Serve With It

  • Marinara sauce for dipping.
  • Olive oil infused with balsamic vinegar.
  • A fresh salad to balance the richness.
  • Soup, especially tomato or minestrone, for a cozy meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
