It’s so nice to be able to make the restaurant food we enjoy at home.
For the dough:
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
- 16 ounces (about 3 1/3 to 3 1/2 cups) bread flour
For the topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the water, yeast, sugar, salt, and melted butter.
- Attach the dough hook to the mixer and begin to gradually add the flour on low speed.
- Increase speed to medium and knead the dough for about 7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Remove the dough, oil bowl, replace dough, turn over, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Divide the dough into 16 equal portions (use a scale).
- Roll each piece of dough into a 7-inch log.
- Place the dough logs on nonstick baking mat or parchment-lined baking sheets, cover, and let rise in a warm place, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter.
- Combine the salt and garlic powder and sprinkle evenly over breadsticks. Serve warm.
