Bumpy Herbed Breadsticks Recipes

BUMPY HERBED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in all-purpose flour, basil, tarragon, oil and salt. Stir in enough whole wheat flour to make dough easy to handle (dough will be soft).
• Turn dough onto surface lightly sprinkled with whole wheat flour. Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
• Grease 2 cookie sheets; sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch down dough. Divide into 24 equal parts. Roll and shape each part into rope, about 8 inches long, sprinkled with whole wheat flour if dough is too sticky. Place on cookie sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place 30 to 40 minutes or until double.
• Heat oven to 400°F. Mix egg white and cold water; brush on breadsticks. Sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Serve warm or cool.

HERBED BREADSTICKS

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.

GARLIC-HERB BREADSTICKS WITH CREAMY PARMESAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix herbs and pepper. Unroll crescent dough on work surface. Sprinkle herb mixture on top of dough, all the way to edges. Fold long sides of dough in half lengthwise; press to get 13x5-inch dough rectangle.
• Cut dough rectangle in half crosswise to get 2 rectangles 6 1/2x5 inches; cut each half lengthwise into 12 equal strips for 24 total. Pinch together end of three strips; braid dough strips. Pinch ends together, tucking both pinched ends under; place on cookie sheet. Repeat for remaining dough strips.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 20 to 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in garlic powder. Brush mixture on tops of braided breadsticks; sprinkle lightly with salt. Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in another small microwavable bowl, mix Creamy Parmesan Dip ingredients; microwave covered on High 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until heated through. Serve breadsticks warm with dip.

PARMESAN-HERB BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line baking pans with parchment paper.
• Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Stir flour, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and salt into the yeast mixture. Beat until smooth and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Let rest, about 5 minutes.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pinch off about 3 tablespoons. Roll into a log shape. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
• While breadsticks are baking, mix butter, garlic salt, and remaining Italian seasoning together.
• Brush butter mixture onto the breadsticks and continue to bake until golden brown, about 3 minutes more.

GARLIC-HERB BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Put 3/4 cup warm water in a food processor. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the sugar and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until dissolved. Add the flour, olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter and pulse until the dough forms a ball, about 1 minute. Continue to process with the motor running until smooth, about 2 more minutes.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment; brush with olive oil. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Divide into 12 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a 12- to-16-inch rope. Arrange the ropes 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, rolling them to coat with the oil. Cover each baking sheet with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place until the breadsticks double in size, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and the garlic in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Brush the breadsticks with the garlic butter; sprinkle with herbs and salt. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
