Cupids Breadsticks Recipes

QUICK HOMEMADE BREADSTICKS RECIPE (35 MINUTES)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved.
• Add in oil and flour and mix until a smooth dough forms and it's no longer sticky.
• Roll out into a 10x12" rectangle.
• Cut into strips about 3/4" - 1" wide.
• Twist each strip once or twice and lay out on a greased baking sheet (I sprayed mine with non-stick cooking spray).
• Let breadsticks rise for 20 minutes (longer if you can, but at least 20 minutes).
• Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
• When the breadsticks come out of the oven, brush breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.

SHEET PAN GARLIC BREADSTICKS RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bottom of your mixer (I used a KitchenAid mixer), mix together water, sugar, and yeast using your dough hook attachment. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
• Add in the salt and flour and mix until it's all incorporated. Mix on high speed for 5 minutes, then let dough sit and rest for 5 more minutes.
• Melt the butter and pour half into the bottom of a large baking sheet (I used a cookie sheet that was 17"x 10"x 1"). Spread the butter around the entire pan using a spatula.
• Place the bread dough in the center of the pan and let it sit for a few minutes.
• Spread the dough out (I just used my hands) to the edges of the pan. Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the breadsticks and spread evenly using a spatula.
• Sprinkle your favorite seasonings on top. For this, anything goes - I use a combination of my favorite seasonings that I have in my pantry (garlic powder, oregano, thyme).
• Sprinkle your seasonings all over the butter, then top with some fresh shredded Parmesan.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut your dough into small breadsticks (doing this before they cook makes it so easy to cut up after they cook). I did rows of 3 x 12 and got 36 breadsticks. You can make these as long or short as you want.
• Stick these breadsticks in a preheated oven at 170 degrees and cook for about 8 minutes (they should rise about an inch during this time). Turn up your oven to 350 degrees (while your breadsticks are still in there - they will continue to bake while the oven preheats) and bake breadsticks for 12-15 more minutes or until they start to turn golden.
• Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes, then follow the indentations using a pizza cutter to cut the breadsticks.

CUPID'S BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Separate breadstick dough into six pieces. For each heart, unroll four pieces and twist if desired; seal perforations and pinch ends together. Shape into hears on an ungreased baking sheet.
• For arrows, unroll remaining two pieces and separate into four breadsticks. With scissors, cut one end of each breadstick into a point. About 2 in. from the point, cut out a triangle from both sides of breadsticks (discard removed pieces). At the other end of the breadstick, make diagonal cuts on each side, creating feathers. Place on baking sheet with hearts.
• In a small bowl, combine butter and seasonings. Brush over the dough. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
