Ingredients
1 ½ cup warm water (90-110˚ F)
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 tsp kosher salt
3-4 cups flour
¼ cup butter
Instructions
In a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix the yeast, water, and honey until the yeast is mostly dissolved and starting to bubble.
Add 2 cups of flour and the salt, then mix well.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add another cup of flour and mix well.
Add the remaining flour a little at a time kneading for 3-5 minutes until the dough starts to pull off the hook.
Grease a large bowl with butter or shortening.
Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl, turning once to coat.
Cover with a towel and raise for about 45 minutes or until the dough has doubled in bulk.
Generously flour a work surface.
Roll out the dough to about ¼” thickness.
Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1” strips.
Fold each strip in half, twist, and place on a baking sheet that’s been greased or lined with parchment paper.
Turn the oven on to 375˚ F.
Cover with a clean towel and raise about 30-45 minutes.
When they have doubled in size, melt the ¼ cup of butter and use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the breadsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
*For a different twist: use olive oil instead of butter and top with garlic and Italian seasoning or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese right before baking. Or for a fun treat, generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top of the breadsticks after you brushed them with butter.
