Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 cup warm water (105 to115 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
• 1 tablespoon warm water (105 to115 degrees F/40 to 45 degrees C)
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt
• 0.75 teaspoon active dry yeast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix 2 tablespoons butter into flour mixture until incorporated. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and knead dough using the dough hook attachment until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Divide dough into 2-ounce portions and roll into 7-inch long sticks. Arrange sticks on the prepared baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and let stand until dough doubles in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 5

Place dough in a container and cover with a towel or plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from dough.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until breadsticks are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush each breadstick using remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter; top with garlic salt.
