Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

Add olive oil, salt, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long breadstick shape, about 8-10 inches in length.

Step 8

Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Cover lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Step 10

Brush the breadsticks generously with the butter mixture and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 11

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the breadsticks immediately after removing them from the oven.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Italian Herb Breadsticks!
