Prepare time: 60 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
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.
I like what you guys are up also. Such intelligent work and reporting! Carry on the excellent works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it’ll improve the value of my website 🙂
Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thank you
With almost everything that appears to be building within this particular area, many of your perspectives are actually somewhat stimulating. On the other hand, I appologize, because I can not subscribe to your entire strategy, all be it stimulating none the less. It appears to me that your remarks are generally not totally rationalized and in fact you are yourself not even thoroughly convinced of the point. In any event I did appreciate examining it.
