Quick And Easy Garlic Breadsticks Recipes

QUICK AND EASY GARLIC BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Measure your flour, salt, garlic powder, parsley, and baking powder into a big bowl. Stir the dry ingredients together so that they are evenly distributed throughout the flour. Now, pour in the milk. Stir with a big spoon until you have a ball of dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. You may have to dust the ball of dough with a little flour if it seems sticky to you. Gently knead the ball of dough right there in the bowl 5 or 6 times. Now place your dough on the counter. You may use a piece of waxed paper under the dough if you like. Using a rolling pin roll out the dough to a rectangular shape. If the edges become uneven, use your hands to reshape into a rectangle. It doesn't have to be perfect. You are aiming for a rectangle that will fi into a 9- by 13-inch pan. When you get the dough the right size, set it aside.
• Meanwhile, place the margarine in the 9- by 13-inch pan and place the pan in a 425F oven to melt the margarine. When the margarine is melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven, so as not to burn yourself. Sprinkle the second teaspoon of garlic powder and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the pan. You do not have to use the extra salt. Now, very carefully, lay your rectangle of dough into the pan, over top of the margarine. Next cut the rectangle into narrow strips. One method of doing this is to cut the dough in half, then cut each half again, quartering the dough, and then cut each quarter into narrow strips. The margarine will creep up between the strips. This is normal. It is what gives these bread sticks their texture. After cutting your strips, place the pan in the oven, still at 425F, and bake them for 20 minutes. They will be browned and crispy when they are done.
• The parsley is simply for decoration. It makes the bread sticks look more gourmet, but it adds little to the flavor or the texture. Leave it out if you don't have any, or are running low. If desired, you may sprinkle the bread sticks with a little bit of parmesan cheese before or after baking. This tastes good, but once again, is optional.

KIM'S GARLIC BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 15 minutes. Add flour, 1 1/4 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1 tablespoon salt; knead until dough is well mixed and soft, about 3 minutes.
• Roll dough into a 2-foot log. Cut into 16 equal pieces, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Knead each piece and shape into a 6-inch breadstick. Arrange breadsticks on a baking sheet; let rise for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix 3 tablespoons melted butter and garlic powder together in a bowl; brush onto breadsticks.
• Bake breadsticks in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Immediately brush with remaining melted butter mixture; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.

SHEET PAN GARLIC BREADSTICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bottom of your mixer (I used a KitchenAid mixer), mix together water, sugar, and yeast using your dough hook attachment. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Add in the salt and flour and mix until it's all incorporated. Mix on high speed for 5 minutes, then let dough sit and rest for 5 more minutes.
• Melt the butter and pour half into the bottom of a large baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet that was 17"x 10"x 1"). Spread the butter around the entire pan using a spatula.
• Place the bread dough in the center of the pan and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Spread the dough out (I just used my hands) to the edges of the pan. Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the breadsticks and spread evenly using a spatula.
• Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top. For this, anything goes - I use a combination of my favorite seasonings that I have in my pantry (garlic powder, oregano, thyme).
• Sprinkle your seasonings all over the butter, then top with some fresh shredded Parmesan.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut your dough into small breadsticks (doing this before they cook makes it so easy to cut up after they cook). I did rows of 3 x 12 and got 36 breadsticks. You can make these as long or short as you want.
• Stick these breadsticks in a preheated oven at 170 degrees and cook for about 8 minutes (they should rise about an inch during this time). Turn up your oven to 350 degrees (while your breadsticks are still in there - they will continue to bake while the oven preheats) and bake breadsticks for 12-15 more minutes or until they start to turn golden.
• Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, then follow the indentations using a pizza cutter to cut the breadsticks.
