Braided Breadsticks Recipes

BRAIDED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F
• In a bowl and using a fork, blend into the Chebe mix the cheese, eggs, water and oil. Mix for a few minutes then continue kneading with your hands until the dough is smooth.
• Separate into 15 equal pieces (each piece will weigh about 1 oz).
• Three pieces at a time, roll them out into 10" thin strands.
• Braid the set of three strands into one braided breadstick (see above photos or video for reference). Be sure to press then ends together so that the end of the breadstick is smooth. Do this with the remaining pieces.
• Place the breadsticks on a baking pan. Brush them generously with egg wash.
• Sprinkle the breadsticks with shredded Parmesan cheese and herbs. Bake for 20 minutes.

BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Beat flour, oil, egg, salt, remaining sugar, and remaining warm water into yeast mixture until smooth, adding more flour if needed to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a floured work surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to cover completely with oil. Cover bowl with a damp towel and place in a warm area until dough is doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
• Grease a baking sheet.
• Punch dough down and turn onto a floured work surface. Divide dough into 18 pieces and shape each into a 6-inch rope. Arrange dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart; cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 25 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove cover from dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Whisk butter and garlic salt together in a bowl; brush over each breadstick. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each.
