Since it is rainy, cold, windy, and hurrican-y out, Dave and I wanted to bake some nice warm bread. We decided to make some garlic breadsticks! (sorry they look yellow in the above pictures...I should have photoshopped the color)
Here's how to do it:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups very warm water
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
Garlic Butter Topping:
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp table salt
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and allow to sit for 10 minutes, covered. Mixture should become frothy.
2. While waiting, preheat oven to 200 degrees.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a medium sized bowl), combine flour and salt.
4. Add yeast mixture and melted butter to flour mixture.
5. Mix with dough hook attachment on stand mixer or stir with a wooden spoon until fully combined.
6. Knead dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
7. Spray baking sheet with non-stick spray. Pull off small pieces of dough and roll out into strips- remember that they will double in size! (we ended up with about a dozen long sticks)
8. Cover the dough with plastic wrap sprayed with non-stick spray (on the side that will touch the bread) and TURN OFF THE OVEN (keep the door closed, of course)
9. Allow the bread to rise in the warm oven for an hour.
10. Once they have doubled in size, remove from oven, then preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
11. Let the bread get back to room temperature, then remove plastic wrap and bake in preheated oven.
12. Make butter topping: Microwave butter until melted, then whisk in garlic powder and salt.
13. After 7 minutes, brush the bread sticks with half of the butter mixture (which smells amazing!), and return to oven for another 6 or 7 minutes.
14. Immediately upon removal from the oven, brush the other half of the butter mixture on the sticks. (don't be stingy! You want it to soak in)
I know it's a lot of steps, but including the one hour rise time, the whole process only took 1 1/2 hrs.
