Ingredients
• 1 cup warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 1 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• For the topping: 1 tbsp melted butter, garlic powder, coarse salt, and dried Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Make the Dough: Stir in the olive oil and salt. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
3. Shape: Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll them out into long, thin ropes (about 8-10 inches). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, coarse salt, and Italian seasoning. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
