Ingrédients

1 cup (237 g) water, (warmed, about 110°-115°F)

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

⅓ cup (75 g) extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

2 teaspoons garlic, (minced)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, (divided)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ cup (25 g) parmesan cheese, (grated)

Instructions

Combine water, yeast and sugar.

In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast blooms.

Whisk the oil mixture together.

In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt.

Add half of the oil to the yeast.

Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil aside.

Add flour to the oil and yeast mixture.

Add the flour to the yeast and oil mixture. Stir to combine.

Allow the dough to rise.

Add the dough to a greased bowl and cover with a clean towel. Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Pour oil into baking dish.

Pour the remaining oil mixture into a 7×11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the pan.

Place dough into baking dish and dimple.

Transfer the risen dough to the prepared baking dish. Work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.

Cut breadsticks.

Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, make 3 equally-spaced slices across the short side of the baking dish*. Then, slice down the center of the dough lengthwise to create a total of 8 breadsticks.

Brush breadsticks with oil.

Brush the top of the breadsticks with one teaspoon of olive oil.

Sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.

Sprinkle the garlic powder and salt evenly over the breadsticks.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Top with olive oil and parmesan cheese and serve.

Immediately brush the baked breadsticks with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
