These Bread Machine Breadsticks are soft and delicious! Let your bread machine make the dough, then you can shape it into tasty breadsticks. Then bake and brush with melted butter and Parmesan cheese.
Servings 14 breadsticks
Ingredients
Breadstick Dough:
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast
Topping:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese amount depends on how much you like
Instructions
- Measure all of the above dough ingredients, in the order that they are listed, into your bread machine.
- Choose the ‘dough cycle’.
- Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine pan, and place it on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a 10 x 12 inch rectangle.
- Cut the dough in half lengthwise (right down the middle horizontally).
- Then cut the dough vertically into 1 inch strips. You should end up with 14 strips of dough.
- Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with oil.
- Take each strip of dough and give it twist. Then place them on a baking sheet (7 sticks to a baking sheet), about an inch or more apart.
- Cover with a tea towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- You can place both baking sheets in your oven, just stagger them slightly for better air flow.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. When they are done, the breadsticks should have puffed up slightly, and should be golden brown. When you tap the tops, they will sound hollow.
- Remove from the oven and brush the hot breadsticks with the melted butter then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately.
