Preparation Steps

• In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast blooms.
• Add salt, olive oil, and bread flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined, adding extra flour if needed until dough pulls away from bowl sides.
• Switch to dough hook and knead on medium speed for about 5 minutes until smooth.
• Shape dough into a ball and place in greased bowl. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
• Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Punch down dough to deflate and divide into 12 equal balls.
• Roll each ball into a 9-inch rope and place on prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise in warm place for about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425°F when dough is almost risen.
• Bake breadsticks for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
• Brush baked breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and kosher salt. Serve warm.
