Breadsticks are easy to make using the dough-cycle on your bread machine. After making the basic dough you roll it out on a floured surface and then cut into strips, top and twist. This is called the “twisted-stick” style of breadstick.
This particular recipe is for a garlic herb breadstick. They go great with a soup or salad, any pasta dish or as an appetizer dipped into a tomato sauce or marinara.
INGREDIENTS:
DOUGH INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cups water (100° F./37° C.)
1tablespoon butter at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons yeast
TOPPINGS:
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons of chopped basil – fresh or dried
1 tablespoon chopped parsley – fresh or dried
1 teaspoon chopped oregano – fresh or dried
1/4 cup of parmesan
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
GLAZE:
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of water
DIRECTIONS:
1Place the first set of dough ingredients in the bread pan in the order indicated. Do not add any of the topping ingredients at this point. Select the dough cycle on the bread machine. When finished, drop the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
2Roll the dough out flat to about 1/4 inch thick or about half a centimeter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
3Sprinkle the herb toppings onto the dough so they’re evenly distributed across the surface. Reserve the egg yolk and water for glazing.
4Preheat oven to 400° F./205° C.
5Cut the dough into long strips about an inch wide. Twist each end in opposite directions to twist the toppings into the bread stick. Place the twisted breadsticks onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
6Mix the egg yolk and the water and glaze each breadstick lightly.
7Bake at 400° F./205° C. for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve.

The herb amount is really up to you. The general rule is 1/3 fresh because they are more flavorful. It all gets down to how much you like the herb and how it looks when you sprinkle them on.

Are the amounts listed for fresh herbs? (Shouldn’t the amounts be a third less If I use dry?) Want to ensure I get this right before I try the recipe.
