These crispy garlic butter breadsticks with rosemary and sea salt offer a perfect crunchy outside and tender inside, making them an easy and delicious homemade snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (about 300g)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 56g), melted and warm
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced or pressed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C), sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit until foamy and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until it starts to come together, then knead by hand on a floured surface or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook for about 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add flour gradually if sticky, but avoid overdoing it.
  3. First rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Shape the breadsticks: Punch down the dough to release air. Divide into 12 equal pieces (about 2 oz / 56g each). Roll each piece into a 6-inch (15 cm) long rope. Place spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
  5. Second rise: Cover the shaped breadsticks loosely with a towel and let them rest for 20 minutes until slightly puffed.
  6. Prepare garlic butter topping: Whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and a pinch of black pepper.
  7. Brush and season: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Brush each breadstick generously with garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
  8. Bake: Bake in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Final butter brush (optional): Brush with a bit more garlic butter right after baking for a glossy finish.
  10. Cool and serve: Let breadsticks cool slightly on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with marinara or cheese dip.

Notes

Do not skip the second rise for best texture. Use fresh garlic and rosemary for best flavor. Brush garlic butter generously but avoid pooling to prevent sogginess. Watch oven temperature closely and adjust if breadsticks brown too fast. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end but watch carefully. Dough can be refrigerated overnight after first rise; bring to room temperature before shaping.
