You're welcome to sprinkle Garlic Powder on these when they're done...but who would want to ruin a nice breadstick by doing that?!
1 cup plus 2 Tbls. warm water
1-1/2 tsp. yeast
2 Tbl. sugar
3 Tbl. butter, melted
1-1/2 tsp. salt
16 oz. bread flour
For topping when done:
Melted butter
Coarse, Kosher salt
Parmesan cheese
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the water, yeast, sugar, butter, and salt. Start adding in the bread flour on low speed. Increase the speed and use the dough hook to incorporate all the flour, a bit at a time. Allow machine to knead dough for a few minutes.
Remove dough to a greased bowl. Cover and let rise for a while.
Divide dough into 2-oz. balls. Roll balls into 10" long breadsticks...should make 12-13 breadsticks. Put breadsticks on parchment lined baking sheets (or could use silicone mats). Allow to rise a while.
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until golden brown. Brust with melted butter and sprinkle generously with coarse, Kosher salt and parmesan cheese.
