OLIVE GARDEN BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment.
• 2. Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix in yeast and sugar and allow to stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
• 3. Stir in the flour, 2 tablespoons room temp. butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1 cup warm water. With the paddle attachment, mix on medium until the dough comes together, adding additional water 1-2 tablespoons at a time.
• 4. Switch from the paddle attachment to the dough hook and mix for 4 minutes until dough is smooth.
• 5. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 16 pieces. I found it easiest to do this by separating the dough in half, halving it again, and again, etc. until I had 16 pieces. They were more even that way.
• 6. Roll them into logs about 7 inches long. Place them on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart and cover with a towel.
• 7. Allow them to rise for 45-60 minutes.
• 8. In a small bowl, whisk together the fine sea salt, garlic powder, and oregano.
• 9. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 10. Brush each breadstick with half of the melted butter and sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture on the breadsticks.
• 11. Bake for 15 minutes.
• 12. Brush each breadstick again with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Add sugar into the warm water in a bowl or measuring cup and stir well. Sprinkle yeast on top and quickly stir. Let set for about 10 minutes until yeast is foamy.
• 2. Pour yeast mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and 2 cups of the flour. Mix on low, then add in the salt and mix again.
• 3. Remove the paddle attachment and attach the dough hook. Add flour, 1/2 a cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the side of the bowl. It should feel slightly firm and not stick to your finger when touched. Mix the dough for about 5 minutes on low once it reaches this point.
• 4. Spray the inside of a bowl with non-stick spray. Transfer the dough from the mixer bowl into the sprayed bowl. Flip over once to coat the top. Cover and let rise until doubled in size; about an hour. Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle.
• 5. Spray a knife or pizza cutter with non-stick spray. Cut the dough into 16-18 equal portions.
• 6. Set the oven on "warm", or 170 degrees. Meanwhile, with lightly floured hands, roll each of the divided portions into a ball, then roll into a breadstick shape, about 6-8 inches long. Divide breadsticks onto 2 greased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• 7. Place in the warmed oven for 15-20 minutes until the breasticks have doubled in size. Remove and set the oven temperature to 375. While it's preheating, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and brush over the unbaked breadsticks. Sprinkle with salt.
• 8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, one pan at a time, until they're golden brown. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter and mix in the garlic powder. Remove baked breadsticks from the oven and brush on the garlic butter. Immediately sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Serve warm from the oven.
