Ingredients
All-purpose flour
3 cups (measured)
Salt
1 teaspoon (measured)
Garlic powder
2 teaspoons (measured and divided)
Dried parsley
1 tablespoon (for decoration, optional)
Baking powder
1 tablespoon (measured)
Milk
1 cup (measured)
Margarine
1/2 cup (for melting)
Additional salt
1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of dried parsley (if using), and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Mix until evenly distributed.
3
Pour in 1 cup of milk and stir with a large spoon until a shaggy dough forms, leaving the sides of the bowl clean. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour.
4
Gently knead the dough in the bowl 5-6 times until it comes together. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured countertop and roll it out into a rectangle that fits a 9x13 inch pan.
5
In the 9x13 inch pan, add 1/2 cup of margarine and place it in the preheating oven to melt. Once melted, remove it carefully and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of garlic powder and optional 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
6
Lay the rolled-out dough over the melted margarine. Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut the dough into narrow strips. You can cut the rectangle in half, then quarter, followed by slicing each quarter into narrow sticks.
7
Bake the breadsticks in the oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
8
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best experience!
