We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place 1/4 cup warm in your mixer bowl, sprinkle in the yeast and a pinch of sugar. Wait until foamy, about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients, mixing with paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms.

  • Step 3: If you have a kneading attachment, switch to it and knead until dough is smooth and soft. If not, knead by hand for about three minutes.

  • Step 4: Split dough in half, and roll each half into a log. (At this point you can place half the dough in the fridge to keep for another night.)

  • Step 5: Cut each log into 8 pieces. (The ends are probably smaller, so be generous when cutting them.)

  • Step 6: Using your hands, roll each piece of dough into a log about 7 inches long.

  • Step 7: Place 2 inches apart on parchment on large cookie sheets.

  • Step 8: Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.

  • Step 9: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush tops of breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake until slightly golden, about 15 minutes.

  • Step 10: Meanwhile, combine the salt, garlic powder and oregano. Brush warm breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with salt mixture.

  • Step 11: Serve warm.
