Buttery Bread Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine 1-1/3 cups flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Gradually add milk; stir in the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently for 1-2 minutes. , Roll into a 1/4-in.-thick rectangle. Cut in half widthwise, then cut each lengthwise into six strips. Brush one side with butter. Place butter side down on a greased baking sheet; butter other side and fold each strip nearly in half. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Place the margarine in a 9 x 13 rectangular pan and place in a 425 degree oven to melt the margarine.
• Meanwhile combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Using a fork to stir, gradually mix in the milk. Add a little more milk if needed.
• Stir up the dough until it is cohesive and forms a soft ball. Coat the ball with flour if it seems sticky.
• Rip off a sheet of waxed paper and pat or roll the dough out on top of the wax paper. Make a roughly regtangular shape to fit the hot pan.
• Remove the hot pan from oven once margarine is melted. Gently place the large sheet of dough into the pan, overtop the hot margarine, being very careful not to burn yourself.
• Next, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough in thin strips, as well as down the middle if desired. The margagine will ooze up between the sticks. You may sprinkle Parmesan cheese on at this time if you like--or add garlic salt or garlic powder to the butter before adding the dough.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes. They will bake up golden brown, crunchy on the outside and soft in the center.

Steps:

• Lightly grease one large baking sheet.
• Divide each roll in half. Roll dough between hands to make a 4-inch long stick. Place sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with egg white or melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese or sesame seeds. Cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overbake as these burn easily on the bottom.

Steps:

• Make dough using your favorite method- bread machine, mixer or by hand.
• Roll out into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
• Give each strip a twist and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• Let rise for at least 20 minutes or more if you have time.
• Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.
• Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Add the warm water to a large bowl with the melted butter, sugar and yeast. Stir to help the yeast dissolve and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy on top.
• Add in the flour and salt (optional) to the yeast mixture. Use a mixing spoon to incorporate the wet and dry ingredients until it comes together into a sticky ball.
• Cover the dough with a towel and place in a warm part of your kitchen. Let rise for 1½ hours, or until it doubles in size.
• Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead on the counter with extra flour until the dough becomes smooth on the surface and no longer sticky.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
• With a rolling pin, flatten the dough until it's about a 7x12 inch (18x30 cm) rectangle, and slice into 12 strips. If you don't have a rolling pin, you can cut the dough into 12 portions and roll each into 7 inch (18 cm) logs with your hands.
• Place the dough on parchment paper-lined baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Brush melted butter and sprinkle garlic salt on the dough.
• Bake the breadsticks for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• When the breadsticks come out of the oven, serve immediately, or cool and store in the freezer for up to 6 months to eat at a later date.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix 2 tablespoons butter into flour mixture until incorporated. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and knead dough using the dough hook attachment until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Place dough in a container and cover container with a towel or plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide dough into 2-ounce portions and roll into 7-inch long sticks. Arrange sticks on the prepared baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and let stand until dough doubles in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until breadsticks are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush each breadstick using 2 tablespoons melted butter; top with garlic salt.

Steps:

• Place butter in a 9-in. square baking pan; place in a 425° oven for 4 minutes or until melted Remove from the oven; set aside. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl; gradually add enough milk to form a soft dough. On a floured surface, knead 4-5 times. Roll out into an 8-in. square; cut in half with a sharp knife. Cut each half into eight strips. Dip each strip into melted butter in pan, carefully turning to coat; arrange in rows in pan. Bake at 425° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together water and yeast and let stand while combining remaining dough ingredients.
• Pulse together flour and salt 2 or 3 times to combine. Add oil, butter, or lard and pulse until combined well, 10 to 20 times. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and pulse until dough forms a ball, about 10 times. Let dough rest in processor 5 minutes. Process dough continuously 10 seconds. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball.
• In bowl combine flour and salt and mix on low speed until combined. Add oil, butter, or lard and beat until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes, stopping to scrape bowl and paddle as necessary. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and beat on low speed until dough forms a ball, about 5 minutes. Let dough rest 5 minutes and beat on low speed 1 minute. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball.
• In a large bowl stir together flour and salt. Add oil, butter, or lard and blend with fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and stir until a rough dough forms. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball, about 5 minutes.
• Put dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered tightly with plastic wrap, at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• On lightly surface knead dough lightly to deflate and form into a ball. Grease bowl again and return dough to bowl, turning to coat. Chill dough, covered tightly with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. and lightly dust 3 jelly-roll pans or large baking sheets with cornmeal.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, making sure dough emerges from bowl in one piece and doesn't fold. (Folded dough becomes too elastic and is difficult to form into breadsticks.) Pat dough into a 9-inch square and cut in half to form 2 rectangles. Cut each rectangle crosswise into 4 1/2- by 1/2-inch strips for a total of 36 pieces and cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel to keep them from forming skin.
• Roll and stretch each piece of dough with palms of hands to form a narrow stick 12 to 15 inches long. (If dough resists, let pieces rest, covered, 5 minutes, and they will roll and stretch easily.) Arrange breadsticks as formed on pans about 1/2 inch apart and let rest 10 minutes. Bake 2 pans of breadsticks in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching their positions halfway through baking, until breadsticks are firm, crisp, and pale golden, 20 to 30 minutes. (Third pan of breadsticks may be kept at room temperature while first 2 pans bake.) Transfer breadsticks to racks and cool. Bake remaining pan of breadsticks in middle of oven and cool. Breadsticks may be kept, loosely covered with plastic wrap or in a paper bag, at room temperature up to 1 week. If they absorb humidity and soften, recrisp in a preheated 325°F. oven about 5 minutes.
