# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Combine bread flour, yeast, salt, sugar, melted butter, warm water, and warm milk in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
02 -
Mix on low speed initially, then increase to high and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
03 -
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm environment for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
04 -
Roll the dough on a floured surface to a rectangle approximately 46 x 33 cm, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
05 -
Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into 20 equal strips to form breadsticks.
06 -
Cover the shaped breadsticks and allow them to rise again for 30 to 60 minutes until slightly puffy.
07 -
Mix 30 g melted butter with dried onion, oregano, garlic powder, basil, and salt until well combined.
08 -
Preheat the oven to 245°C (470°F).
09 -
Brush the breadsticks with 30 g melted butter, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown.
10 -
Immediately brush the hot breadsticks with the herbed butter mixture and sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese before slicing and serving warm with marinara sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For optimal results, weigh flour with a kitchen scale and maintain liquid temperatures at 40°C to properly activate the yeast.
02 -
The dough can be frozen after the first rise; defrost overnight in the refrigerator before shaping.
03 -
Baked breadsticks without topping can be frozen and reheated in the oven before adding butter and cheese.
04 -
Serving warm with marinara sauce enhances the flavor profile.
