Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 12

Ingredients

1 packet active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup warm water (110°F)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water and let it stand until frothy, about 5 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, melted butter, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of flour. Stir in the yeast mixture and 1 cup of warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
6. Roll each portion into a 9-inch-long rope. Place the ropes on a greased baking sheet, cover with a cloth, and let rise until puffy, about 20 minutes.
7. Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Mix the 2 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder and salt, then brush over the warm breadsticks before serving.
