Ready to elevate your homemade breadstick game? When I started my blog, I decided to try this easy recipe for Divine Breadsticks that I found on another food blog. The recipe seemed quick and easy, but it allowed me to provide homemade breadsticks for my family.
I love bread! It’s one of my weaknesses, especially when you make yeast dough from scratch. The first time I made them, I altered the recipe slightly. I only made 12 breadsticks with this recipe because I like them soft.
I dipped these divine breadsticks in melted butter before placing them on the cookie sheet. Then, I sprinkled them all with garlic salt, then sprinkled half with parmesan cheese, and the other half with salad supreme. The original recipe requires sprinkling garlic salt on the breadsticks.
I love to pair these with my Mom’s homemade stew or just about any Italian pasta recipe. They are also tasty served alongside a hot bowl of soup. This is my go-to recipe when I want breadsticks for dinner!
Ingredients to make Divine Breadsticks
- WARM WATER
- YEAST
- SUGAR
- FLOUR
- SALT
- BUTTER
- GARLIC SALT
- PARMESAN CHEESE
The second time I made these, I added a teaspoon of garlic salt to the butter. I liked how that turned out better than sprinkling. My family absolutely loves the breadsticks with lots of garlic flavor.
I also used my Kitchen Aid and let it knead the dough for 3 minutes. I love that I can have homemade breadsticks ready in about 1 hour! Thanks to Mel’s Kitchen Café. This recipe is in my tried-and-true file.
How to Make Divine Homemade Breadsticks
Start by combining the first five ingredients of the dough in a large bowl and kneading for three minutes. I use my stand mixer with the dough hook for this. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This gives it time to rise slightly, making it easier to handle.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Melt the butter and stir in garlic salt to create a deliciously buttery coating.
Roll out your rested breadstick dough into a rough 9 x 13-inch rectangle and slice into 12 even strips. I use a pizza cutter to do this. Dip each strip into the butter mixture and give them a twist. Then, lay them on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Now let them rise, covered, for about 30 minutes until they puff up. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. This recipe makes a dozen scrumptious breadsticks.
