Instructions

Stir 1 teaspoon of sugar and yeast into the ½ cup of warm water and let sit for 10 minutes until the mixture is frothy and bubbly.

Whisk together the ¾ cup of warm water, melted butter, salt, remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar, thyme, basil, oregano, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of flour, parmesan cheese, and the yeast mixture once it's frothy and continue stirring while adding another ½ cup of flour.

Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured counter and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough is soft, smooth and no longer sticking to your hands. Dust the counter with a small amount of flour when you notice the dough sticking to your hands but try not to add too much extra flour (too much flour will make the dough tough). Form the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a dry towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. The dough should double in size.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the dough has finished rising, punch down and turn onto a very lightly floured counter. Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces.

Roll each piece of dough into a long "snake" breadstick shape using your hands on the countertop. Each breadstick should be about 4-6 inches long and about ½ to ¾ of an inch in diameter. Place each breadstick on the prepared baking sheet leaving at least 1 to 2 inches between for rising/spreading. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350℉ a few minutes before the breadsticks finish rising. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and parsley to make the garlic butter glaze.

Once the breadsticks have risen, remove the plastic wrap and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, take out of the oven and brush the garlic butter onto each breadstick using a silicone pastry brush. Return to the oven and bake for another 7-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving*.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Yeast Properly 🧈
Ensure your warm water is between 105-110°F (40-43°C) before adding yeast—too hot kills it, too cold prevents activation. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy to guarantee active fermentation and perfect rise.
Toast Your Dried Herbs 🌿
Gently warm the dried parsley, oregano, basil, and thyme in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing into dough to unlock their essential oils and intensify their flavors significantly.
Infuse Garlic Butter Perfectly 🧄
Melt butter with minced fresh garlic over low heat rather than using garlic powder alone, then brush onto warm breadsticks immediately after baking for superior, aromatic garlic flavor that powder cannot match.
Use Parchment Paper for Even Browning 📄
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even heat distribution and prevent the bottom from over-browning while the tops achieve that perfect golden color.
Brush and Season in Layers ✨
Apply garlic butter and herb-parmesan mixture in two coats—once halfway through baking and again immediately after removal—to create a more intense, professional coating without burning the seasonings.
