Dough

  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Topping

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

  • baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour, salt, and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Gently punch down the risen dough, divide it into 7 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a 6-8 inch long breadstick shape.
  3. Arrange the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Finishing Touches
  1. While the breadsticks are still warm, brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and dried oregano.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of Italian seasoning to the dough. Serve these breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce or soup.
