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.

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup of the flour with 2 1/2 tsp. dry yeast, and salt, with a wire whisk.
- 2. In another bowl, combine, warm water, olive oil, honey, and egg yolk.
- 3. Add to dry mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowls constantly. Increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in remaining flour.
- 4. Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes.
- 5. Place in a greased bowl, turning to coat dough completely. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size. (About an hour.)
- 6. Punch dough down. Cover with damp cloth and let rest 10 minutes.
- 7. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- 8. Divide dough in half. Divide each portion into 8 pieces. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a 6-8 inch rope and place 2 inches apart on baking dish. Cover and let rise 45 minutes more.
- 9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- 10. Beat together egg white and 1 tbsp. water with a wire whisk. Brush over breadsticks and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- 11. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly. Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help ensure that the yeast is active and will produce a light and fluffy breadstick.
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the breadsticks their chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the dough to rise.
- Shape the dough into breadsticks. You can use a variety of shapes, such as ropes, braids, or knots.
- Bake the breadsticks in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the breadsticks.
- Serve the breadsticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Soft breadsticks are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They can be made with a variety of ingredients and flavors, and they can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. With a little practice, you can easily make soft breadsticks at home that will be enjoyed by everyone.
