Instructions
- Combine the water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let it stand for 10 minutes or until the yeast is bubbly.
- Add salt to the mixture and stir.
- Add 1½ cups of flour and mix well.
- Gradually add more flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and barely sticks to your finger–usually 3-4 cups depending on your elevation and humidity.
- Spray a metal or glass bowl with cooking spray, and place the ball of dough in it.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and place it on a floured surface.
- Place a Silpat sheet on a baking pan and coat with cooking spray.
- Gently roll the dough into a rectangle, then cut it into 20 strips with a pizza cutter.
- Twist the dough or wrap it around your finger, then place each twisted breadstick onto the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving room between each breadstick.
- Cover the baking sheet with a tea towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- When the bread is finished rising, bake for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Rub the tops of the breadsticks with butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese to taste. Enjoy.
