Ingredients

For bread:

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water, about 110º F
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt

For topping:

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

Step
1

Place 1/4 cup of water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step
2

Add the remaining water, 4 1/2 cups of flour, butter, sugar and salt to the mixer.
Step
3

Mix on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed, to get the dough to come together.
Step
4

Break dough into fourths. Roll each fourth into a long, thin log about 16 inches long. Cut each log into three pieces. Place the breadsticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a clean cloth.
Step
5

Let rise for 45 minutes.
Step
6

Heat oven to 400 °F.
Step
7

Lightly brush 2 tablespoons of butter over the breadsticks and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step
8

Remove from the oven. Brush with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the garlic salt. Serve hot.
