These Garlic-Herb Twisted Breadsticks are a delightful addition to any meal, combining aromatic garlic and herbs with a soft, golden breadstick.
In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle in the yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy, then stir to combine.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
Add olive oil, salt, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until smooth and elastic. Gradually add more flour if needed to form a soft dough.
Mixing thoroughly ensures the dough develops the right texture.
Turn the dough onto a floured board and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and no longer sticky. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 45-60 minutes.
Kneading helps develop gluten, giving the breadsticks their structure.
Punch down the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes. Roll it out into a 16x8 inch rectangle.
Resting the dough makes it easier to roll out.
Combine the minced garlic, olive oil, rosemary, and parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough.
Ensure the topping is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Cut the dough into 16 strips. Twist each strip and place on a greased baking sheet.
Twisting the strips adds a decorative touch and helps the breadsticks bake evenly.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and bake the breadsticks for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the breadsticks to prevent overbaking.
Serve the breadsticks warm and enjoy their delightful aroma and taste.
Serve with a dipping sauce like marinara or garlic butter for added flavor.
