Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
• 7 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 2

Mix 1 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast together in a large bowl; let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Add vegetable oil, egg, salt, 2 cups flour, 7 tablespoons sugar, and 1 cup warm water; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in remaining 2 1/2 cups flour until dough is soft.

Step 3

Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 2 to 3 baking sheets.

Step 5

Punch dough down and turn onto a floured surface. Divide dough into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a 6-inch rope. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.

Step 6

Beat butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder together in a bowl until creamy; serve alongside baked breadsticks.
