Crazy Bread

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets.

2. 2

   Combine the yeast and a couple pinches of sugar with the warm water in a small bowl. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and creamy.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, stir together most of the flour with the hot water, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Incorporate the rest of the flour one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until a dough forms. Divide the dough into two equal portions, then divide each portion into 12 long sticks and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

4. 4

   Drizzle the melted butter over the breadsticks, then scatter the Parmesan and garlic powder evenly on top.

5. 5

   Bake for approximately 13 minutes, until the breadsticks turn a light golden brown.
