2½tspinstant yeast,(1 package)
1¼cupswater
2tbspolive oil
4cupsbread flour,(22 ounces) plus more for working the dough
1½tspsalt
3tbspbutter,melted
½tspgarlic salt
3tbspparmesan cheese
Preparation
Place the ½ cup of warm water and yeast together in a medium bowl and whisk together briefly. Allow the yeast enough time to bubble up and become active, this should take a few minutes.
Into a food processor bowl pour in flour and salt, pulse to combine. Add yeast, olive oil, and remaining water through the tube of the food processor and process. The dough will form into a ball. Process until the dough is smooth and elastic.
The dough will be sticky. Place into a bowl that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, cover dough with plastic wrap. Let rise for 2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
Gently pat out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape. Cut the dough into 2 equal portions down the middle. Then make about 8 cuts horizontally across the dough.
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. Roll each portion of dough into a breadstick.
Bake in the 375 degrees F oven for about 18 minutes or until the breadsticks become golden. Remove breadsticks from the oven, mix the melted butter and the garlic salt.
Brush the garlic sauce over the breadsticks. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the breadsticks.
Serve and enjoy.
