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
- 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.
- 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.
- Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- 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.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the remaining olive oil, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.
- Brush the herb-garlic mixture over the surface of the rolled-out dough.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut the dough into strips about 1 inch wide.
- Twist each strip and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 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.
