Equipment

Ingredients

For The Breadsticks

  • 1 pound Frozen bread dough thawed

For The Topping

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Salt may need more or less - it depends on you
  • 3 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated - use as much as you like
  • Italian seasoning this is optional - we like it.

Instructions

  • Divide the thawed dough into 16 equal pieces.
  • Shape the dough into 7-inch long sticks.
  • Place the breadsticks on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Spray the parchment paper first with the vegetable oil spray before laying the breadsticks on the paper.
  • Let rise in a warm spot until double in size (up to 2 hours.)
  • Preheat oven to 400℉ degrees.
  • Bake until crust is a light golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. (Keep a close eye on them)
  • Remove the homemade breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with the garlic salt.
  • Sprinkle them with the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning if you like.
