Provided by BHG Test Kitchen

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 - 1.25 cup all-purpose flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary, thyme, and/or oregano
0.25 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
0.75 cup milk
2 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon sugar
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 cup semolina pasta flour*
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together 3/4 cup of the all-purpose flour, the yeast, rosemary, and pepper. In a small saucepan heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt just until warm (120°F to 130°F) and butter almost melts.
  • Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in semolina flour. Let stand for 1 minute. Stir in as much of the remaining all-purpose flour as you can.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (8 to 10 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a lightly greased large bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (45 to 60 minutes). (To serve today, omit Step 4 and continue as directed in Steps 5 through 7.)
  • Punch dough down. Place dough in a freezer container; seal. Freeze for up to 3 weeks. Thaw dough overnight in refrigerator before using.
  • Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half. Cover; let rest for 10 minutes. Line a baking sheet with foil; grease foil. Roll one dough portion into a 10x9-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 24 strips.
  • For each breadstick, pinch together ends of three strips; braid the dough strips. Pinch the other ends together. Tuck under the thin, pinched ends.** Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough portion. Cover; let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (about 30 minutes).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl beat together egg white and the water. Lightly brush egg white mixture on breadsticks. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

SOFT GARLIC PARMESAN BREADSTICKS



Soft Garlic Parmesan Breadsticks image

These are better than the ones served at pizza parlors! I usually have to make two batches, because they go so fast! I use my food processor to do the mixing.

Provided by Andi

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes

Time 2h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups bread flour
3 teaspoons instant yeast
1 tablespoon white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, softened
¼ cup hot water
½ cup milk
1 egg
¼ cup butter, melted
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Fit your food processor with a steel blade. Place the bread flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan and softened butter in the processor; pulse to blend. Stir together hot water, milk and egg. Start the processor and slowly pour in the milk mixture into the feed tube until a ball forms around the blade. Run for 30 seconds to knead. Remove dough from processor and knead briefly by hand. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Deflate the dough, and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 10x12 inch rectangle. Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough lengthwise into ten strips, and then cut these strips in half. Brush tops of strips with 2 tablespoons melted butter, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Cover, and let rise until nearly double, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn broiler on, and brush breadsticks with remaining melted butter and Parmesan cheese. Broil just until the cheese starts to turn light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use bread flour: Bread flour has a higher protein content than all-purpose flour, which will give your breadsticks a chewier texture.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast is essential for ensuring that it is active and will produce carbon dioxide to make your breadsticks rise.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give your breadsticks a strong and elastic texture.
  • Let the dough rise twice: Letting the dough rise twice will help it to develop a more complex flavor and a lighter texture.
  • Brush the breadsticks with olive oil before baking: This will help to give them a golden brown crust.
  • Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

These herbed soft breadsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for dipping in olive oil, marinara sauce, or your favorite dip. You can also add different herbs or spices to the dough to create different flavor variations. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give these herbed soft breadsticks a try!
