Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups warm water (105°F)
  • 2.25 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes

Instructions:

  1. In a mixer bowl, combine warm water (105°F–110°F), honey, and yeast. Whisk gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until a creamy, foamy head forms.
  2. Add the olive oil and fine sea salt to the yeast mixture. With the mixer on low, gradually add flour 1 cup at a time.
  3. Once dough clears the sides of the bowl, switch to medium speed and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic (must pass the windowpane test).
  4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (approximately 60 minutes).
  5. Punch the dough down and divide into 16 equal pieces (approx. 60g each). Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope.
  6. Place ropes 2 inches apart on a prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Melt butter and mix with garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the garlic herb butter and finish with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
