Ingredients

1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Coarse sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

Activate Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the frothy yeast mixture along with the melted butter. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

Prepare Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, garlic powder, dried basil, parsley, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to form a herb-infused butter.

Shape Breadsticks: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough into strips approximately 1 inch wide.

Form the Breadsticks: Take each strip and gently twist it before placing it onto a greased baking sheet. Continue this process until all dough strips are shaped.

Second Rise: Cover the shaped breadsticks with a towel and let them rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake: Once the breadsticks have risen, brush the tops generously with the herb butter mixture. Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Finish and Serve: Once baked, brush the breadsticks with any remaining herb butter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Garlic Bliss Herb Butter Breadsticks!
