recipe

preparation time: 20 mins cook time: 10 mins ready time: 1 hr 35 mins


• dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a bowl. let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• beat flour, oil, egg, salt, remaining sugar, and remaining warm water into yeast mixture until smooth, adding more flour if needed to form a soft dough. turn dough a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
• place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to cover completely with oil. cover bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm area until dough is doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
• grease a baking sheet.
• punch dough down and turn a floured work surface. divide dough into 18 pieces and shape each into a 6-inch rope. arrange dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart; cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.
• preheat oven to 400 degrees f (200 degrees c). remove cover from dough.
• bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• whisk butter and garlic salt together in a bowl; brush over each breadstick. sprinkle parmesan cheese over each.
