Instructions

1.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
2.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope (about 8-10 inches).
7.
Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet.
8.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Brush the mixture over the breadsticks.
9.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
10.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
11.
While the breadsticks are baking, prepare the parmesan dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste.
12.
Serve the warm breadsticks with the parmesan dip.

Chef's Tips

For a crispier breadstick, bake for a few minutes longer.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic herb mixture for a little heat.

Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.

The dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
