Delicious Bacon Breadsticks Recipe to Impress Your Guests

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (For the dough)
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast (For leavening)
  • 1 cup warm water (Around 110°F for yeast activation)
  • 1 tsp salt (To taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (For flavor and texture)
  • 1 cup bacon bits (Cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese (Grated, for topping)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (For added flavor)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (For an authentic taste)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.

    Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Combine Ingredients

    Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

    Use a wooden spoon or dough hook for easier mixing.
  3. Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

    Add a little flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Let it Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1 hour.

    Choose a warm spot for the best rising results.
  5. Add Bacon and Cheese

    Once risen, fold in the bacon bits and half of the parmesan cheese.

    Reserve some cheese for topping.
  6. Shape the Breadsticks

    Roll out the dough and cut into strips. Twist each strip and place on a baking sheet.

    Make them as thick or thin as you prefer.
  7. Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  8. Serve

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining parmesan, and serve warm.

    Pair with marinara sauce for dipping.
