Herbed Breadsticks Recipes

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

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.

• 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.

HOMEMADE PARMESAN GRLIC & HERB BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• For the dough:
• Place the active dry yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix it with 1 tsp of sugar. Add warm water, stir well and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of flour, salt, honey and olive oil. Mix the dough with a wooden spoon at first and then use your bands until ingredients are combined. Add the other 1/2 cup of flour and knead the dough until combined. (If the dough is too sticky, you might have to add a little more flour.)
• Lightly flour some counter surface and transfer your dough onto the floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth. It will take about 2-3 minutes.
• Rub a clean bowl with some olive oil and place the dough in it. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let it rise in a warm place (away from draft or AC is fine) until doubled in size, about 1- 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
• When ready, take out the dough and knead it for about a minute until smooth.
• At this point, you can place the dough in a large ziplock bag and refrigerate. Remember to lightly grease the bag. (Dough can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
• If you are just making breadsticks, separate dough in half and refrigerate the other half.

• Breadsticks:
• Preheat the oven to 425 and grease a cookie sheet. (You can also use a pizza stone and in that case, spread some cornmeal over the stone and preheat it in the oven.)
• Split the remaining dough into two or three more pieces just so it's easier to roll it out.
• Roll out the dough into about 5x10 long, rectangles.
• In a small bowl, combine grated garlic, herbs, oil and salt, mix well.
• Spread mixture over the rectangles, covering the whole thing evenly. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
• Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 1-inch thick pieces, width-wise. Carefully twist each piece.
• Place them on the cookie sheet (or the pizza stone) and bake for 9-11 minutes, until nicely golden.
• You an grate some more Parmesan cheese on top if you wish.

CRUNCHY HERBED WHOLE WHEAT BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add Lukewarm water, yeast and sugar.
• Give it a quick mix and keep it aside.
• The yeast mixture will take around 10 minutes to bloom.
• In a bowl of your stand mixer with hook attachment or a wide bowl add in the Flours, Bloomed yeast mixture and give it a quick mix.
• Now add the salt, sesame seeds, dry herbs (crush it slightly between your hands) and mix again.
• Now slowly add the milk and knead the dough.
• Do not add all the milk at one go, as different flours have different absorption capacity. Add it slowly.
• Once you get the dough all combined , knead the dough for 2-3 minutes in a stand mixer or 5-6 minutes with hand.
• Try to form a rough ball shape. Add oil slowly to the dough.
• Once you are able to make an elastic dough, let the dough rest until it doubles in size. (Around 1-1.5 hours)
• Once the dough is double in size, knead it for a min.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal size portions.
• Roll each dough into a large rectangle.
• Cut into 1-1.5 cm strips and roll each strip.
• Place this in a prepared baking sheet. Keep some space in between as they will rise during baking.
• Preheat the oven to 200 Deg C / 390 Deg F.
• Lightly brush the breadsticks with milk. (This is optional, but it gives a nice golden colour)
• Bake the breadsticks for 20-30 minutes in a preheated oven until golden brown. (I like to turn the breadsticks in between so that they are golden overall, this is an optional step.)
• Once done let them cool completely on the baking tray itself. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container.
