Kim’s Buttery Garlic Breadsticks
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup warm water. Let it sit until the yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 15 minutes. Add the flour, 1 1/4 cup warm water, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 1 tablespoon salt; knead until the dough is well combined and soft, about 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll the dough into a 2-foot log. Cut it into 16 equal pieces, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Knead each piece and shape it into a 6-inch breadstick. Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet; let rise for about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Stir 3 tablespoons melted butter and garlic powder together in a bowl; brush the mixture onto the breadsticks.

  5. 5

    Bake the breadsticks in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Immediately brush with the remaining melted butter mixture; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
