Stand time: 3 hours
Level: Medium
Serves: 16 servings
Ingredients:
Dough:
1) 1 cup + 3 tbsp lukewarm water or milk (285g), 1 tbsp sugar (14g), 1.5 tsp fast rising yeast;
2) 1 tbsp corn or vegetable oil;
3) 2.5 cups unsifted all purpose flour (400g), 1 tsp salt;
4) ¾ cup + 1 tbsp butter (185g);
Filling:
5) ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tbsp dried parsley;
Egg wash:
6) 1 egg, whisk well with 1.5 tbsp water.
Directions:
1: Measure all ingredients of Ingredient 3) into a bowl and mix well (Picture 1, right),
Measure all ingredients of Ingredient 1) into a measuring cup or a container, combine then let stand for 10 minutes (Picture 1, left). Stir in 1 tbsp oil, mix well then pour this yeast mixture into the flour bowl. Knead a few times to make a soft dough (Picture 2), don’t over knead. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume (Picture 3).
2: While waiting for the dough to rise, cut the butter into thin slices and set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3: After the dough has risen, chill the dough in a fridge for 20 minutes. Take out the dough and shape into a log on a floured surface. Press down and roll out into a 15×40 cm rectangle (Picture 4).
4: Lay butter slices on top to cover 2/3 of the dough, leaving an unbuttered border about ¼ inch wide. Fold the unbuttered 1/3 toward the center (Picture 5), then fold the opposite side to make a 3-layered dough (Picture 6). Turn 90 degrees and roll out into a 30×60 cm rectangle (Picture 7). Fold into thirds again (Pictures 8). Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
6: Repeat the Step-5 two more times. Roll out the dough into a 30×60 cm rectangle. Quarter the dough into 4 equal rectangles (Picture 9). Brush each piece with egg wash (Picture 9). Mix ½ cup ground parmesan cheese and 2 tbsp dried parsley in a small bowl (Picture 10). Sprinkle evenly on two rectangles (Picture 11), cover with other two rectangles and press down gently (Pictures 12).
8: Take out and brush with egg wash. Cover with plastic wrap again and leave in a warm place until volume of the breadsticks has doubled (Pictures 16). Preheat oven at 375F/190C. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden.
Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat at 350F for 5 minutes before serving.
Throughout the grand scheme of things you get an A for effort and hard work. Exactly where you lost me ended up being in your details. As it is said, the devil is in the details… And that could not be more true right here. Having said that, allow me say to you just what did give good results. The text is actually rather powerful which is most likely the reason why I am taking the effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, even though I can certainly see the leaps in reason you come up with, I am not really convinced of how you seem to connect your points which in turn produce your conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your point however trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect the dots better.
