Garlic Breadsticks
Fresh baked garlic breadsticks are a restaurant favourite that are easy to make at home. Start with basic bread dough, add some seasonings, and bake!
Servings: 12 breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 handful bread dough from artisan bread recipe
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/4 tsp marjoram
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- 1/4 tsp oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 380F. Coat a non-porous cutting board with about 1 tbsp of olive oil.
- Take a handful of dough and place it in the olive oil. Turn the dough to coat completely with olive oil.
- Flatten the dough with your hands until it is about half an inch thick.
- Mix the seasonings together and then sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Cover a baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil (about 1/4 tsp) and a thin layer of cornmeal. The olive oil and cornmeal will keep the breadsticks from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Cut the dough into rectangles. Stretch each piece a bit lengthwise and place on the baking sheet. Keep some space between each piece of dough so they have room to expand while baking.
- Bake at 380F for 20-30 minutes or until breadsticks have browned. The breadsticks can be served warm, but should be allowed to cool for at least 5 minutes after baking to avoid burns. They are also delicious when cooled. Store breadsticks in a bag only after they have completely cooled (otherwise the steam from being warm will make them soggy). They will stay fresh for a day or two, but they will probably be eaten long before then!
