Brushed with buttery garlic and herbs straight from the oven, they pair beautifully with pasta, soups, or even enjoyed on their own. This is one of those bread recipes that feels special without being complicated, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned home cooks.

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean dish towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long breadstick shape and place them on a lined baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt.

Brush the breadsticks generously with the garlic herb topping. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.

As soon as they come out of the oven, brush them with any remaining garlic butter for extra flavor.
