Next, I will show you how to melt the butter and combine the salt and garlic so it's ready to go on top of the bread sticks. Bread sticks begged. I will teach you how to finish them up with the melted butter and the salt and garlic. I am a self taught baker. May, years ago, I decided I wanted to open up my own home bakery and sell cakes and other baked goods to other people. But I felt like I needed to improve my cake decorates skills. So I took some classes, watch some videos, read some books. And of course did a lot of practice until I felt like my cake decorating. We're at the level that I could decorate cakes for other people, for special occasions. I then open up my own home business. And how did this home business wants to go to farmers markets and sell my big goods. Bread sticks are an excellent thing to sell at farmers markets. I had this business for several years until my husband got a job offer in New York City. We felt like this was a good move for us. And so I closed down my business and we moved across the country to New York City. Now here in New York City, I do not want to go through the steps to open up another home visitors. But I still, I'm faking. And as retired teacher, I like teaching. So I decided to share my skills with you. On Skillshare. You have a good stand mixer with the bread dough. Bread sticks are fairly easy to make. They do take several hours because there are two different periods for the dough to rise. But the actual time spent to make an a is less than an hour and is possibly closer to a half an hour. That means as long as you stay in their homes, you can watch the dough. You're free to do other things. While the dosage for this class, the baker that would like to learn how to make this, these delicious garlic you prefer to have with their meals when they have pasta, soup or other dishes. I am excited to teach you the skills in this class. Let's move on to lesson number one. Thank you. The bread dough. 2. 02 Making The Dough: I'm ready to start making bread stick. You're going to want to have a heavy-duty mixer with a bread dough hook. This one is a Bosch kitchen aid and many other brands also make them. The first thing I wanna do is I want to dump my warm water into here. Then I'm going to combine the yeast. And I just wanted to sprinkle it over that warm water and our butter. Now, we're going to let this down for just a couple of minutes. While we sit together the dry ingredients. I've got my SIP over the bowl. And to that, I want to add my three-and-a-half cups are my three and one-third cups. That's all I'm going to sit together. If I need more, I'll just add it. So that's three cups and one-third cup. Then I want to add my salt, which is one and three-fourths teaspoon. So I'm going to measure the wind and forth. That's a half. And then one-fourth. One tablespoon of garlic powder. And my spoon does not fit in there, so I will just dump the powder in the spoon. 1.5 tablespoons of my vital wheat. Now I just want to sift through them. I am sure to use a spoon to push against the bottom. I find it makes it go faster. Then hitting the side. You can hit the site too, if that's what you like to do. Now the recipe says to add the salt to that yeast to Napa. I find it's just as easy to sift it with this. So that's what I do. We're now ready to add flour mixture to our prep or to our yeast and water mixture? Going to dump some not all of it. Yeah. Some of it shuts off the beater. And I'm going to want it off for a minute so I can scrape it off at the Peter, which you can see it is I'm going to turn it up too high and needed for about 7 min. I ended up starting getting a high pitch sound, which meant it wasn't really needing much anymore. And this is the last sticky. And I believe it is ready. What we're gonna do now is we're going to, I'm using the same bowl that I sifted flour. Wanted to spray this down. Then I'm going to grab my bread dough and put it in that bowl. Now, the recipe says to cover it with plastic wrap and you can spray down some plastic wrap and put it on there. But I personally prefer to use a clean dish cloth, one that's made out of like flour sack type material. That's not real fibers. Fibers. You don't really want a terry cloth one because you don't want the little fuzzies to stick to the dough. And I'm going to cover this. And this is going to rise till double in bulk, about 1.5 h won't be back. When this says. 3. 03 Forming The Bread Sticks: Do is done with its first raise, and we're now ready to roll out the bread sticks. Here's our toe. You can see it is more than doubled on our breadboard. I've lightly flower at the top part in a tagline TO, I'm punching it down. I'm putting it on the bread board. And I want to get 12 bread sticks out of this. So I'm going to start breaking this in half. Without broken in half. I want to get six out of this. So I want to break this again inhale. Sure that equal halves. Now I want to get three out of each of these, so 123, and I want to look and make sure they're the same size. I'm going to do the same with this 123. This one's bigger, this one's smaller. I'll adjust. That. Might be a little bit bigger. So there are six ready to be made into bread sticks. Now, I'm going to just carefully stick them back in the bowl so that I have the breadboard to roll out on. But before I do that, I wanted to do the same with this. So break it in half. Then I went to break this into thirds. That makes 09:00 A.M. break this into thirds. And that makes 12. I have my mounts of dough here. And I have my breadboard, and I have my Pam, put the breadths tips on. So I want to arrange them so that I can easily get to all of it. I'm going to pick the pen behind the breadboard. Now you can see I have it all situated so you can see at least parts of it and all of the print board when I'm doing the work. What I wanna do now is I want to make sure this breadboard has some flowers on it. And I want to roll this into a grid. I want this to be about seven or 8 " long. Maybe I should say to 8 " long. So I'm just rolling it together longer. Once I don't think it's the right length, I'm just going to stick it on my pen like that. I'm going to continue doing this with all of the bounds of dough until I have all 12 them done. As you roll it out. If you notice that one is much bigger or much smaller than the others, you can add or take away from it while it's in the dose states to try to get them all the same size. Now we're not looks like it's about the same length as that one. I'm ready to m. One thing you can do, you'll notice this one is just a straight for it. The other thing you can do is you can twist it like that and then put it up. Those are two different ways to do print sticks. You want to leave a little bit of space because this is going to raise some more, bring this down. I want to be able to fit 12 on there, but I probably going to put it at least to them. So you can decide if you want to twist it like this or a straight like that. But continue working. You have all 12 of them done. I'll continue working too. I have all 12 of mine done. And then we'll be back here. As you can see. I put them all on here. I have a little bit of space in-between. We're now going to take our towel that we used before and just put it on top again. And we're going to let this rise again till double in bulk. This time it's gonna take about an hour to an hour-and-a-half. Then we'll be ready to make it. 4. 04 BakingThe Bread Sticks: Our bread sticks have risen and I've turned the oven on to preheat to 400 degrees. I move the bread sticks over to the oven while it's preheating so that it will help them raise a little bit more. Though. You can see that they have. Now we're just waiting for the oven to pre-heat. So we'll be back when the Evan has preheated. Oven just beeped saying that it is preheated. So we're ready to pick the bread sticks in the oven. I'm going to put the brakes on the middleware. And then we're going to set the timer for 12 min. We're now going to let them cook for 12 min. 5. 05 Preparing The Topping: While the bread sticks or baking, we're gonna go ahead and get the butter melted. And the salt and garlic powder measured out. Because once the bread stick is done cooking, we want to quickly put this on the bread sticks while it's still warm. So we're going to take this better over to the microwave. I'm going to put this in for 45 s at 50%. So that was in one tablespoon increments. So then we'd mount more evenly. When the timer goes off, we will stir up and hopefully any un-melted better will melt. The timer has just gone. We're bringing this out of the microwave. You can see there's still better that hasn't melted. But because it's hot by Stern and we're hoping we can melt the rest of the button. As you can see, that's melted down quite nicely. I don't think we'll have to heat it up anymore. We have our better melted. Now in this bow, we want to put one-half teaspoon of salt and one-fourth teaspoon of garlic powder. We just want to mix this stuff to make it a blend. Now after spread, the butter will just be sprinkling this on top. We now need to wait for the bread sticks to finish cooking. Then we'll be ready to put the butter and the salt and garlic on top. 6. 06 Adding The Butter And Seasoning On Top: Here are our bread sticks. Okay. I just took them out of the oven. Now I'm going to take my better. You can hear it sizzles. I want to spread it on top of the bridge. And if for some reason I don't have enough butter, I can always melt more butter. Looks like I may not quite have enough photo. I may want to melt another tablespoon. But before I do that, I want to sprinkle salt and garlic onto each of the sticks so that it has that yummy garlic flavor. If I find I don't have enough at the garlic and salts, can make some more of that too. I'm gonna go ahead and melts us a little bit more better. Finished the last of the tree, but sticks, sprinkle the rest of that Salton garlic powder on it and then let these completely cool. And then they'll be ready to. 7. 07 Final Thoughts: Thank you for taking this class. In this class, we learned how to make these delicious garlic keep Greg. We first learned how to make the bread dough. The dough was made, we put it in a bowl and we let it rise. After the first rise, we punched it down, divided it into 12 equal portions, and rolled out our grip sticks. We then put them on a Jelly Roll pen, covered them and let them rise again, at least an hour and possibly longer. After they had risen. The second time, I baked them in the oven at 400 degrees for 12 min. While we baked, I melted the better and mixed together some salt and garlic powder. With the bread sticks done. We spread the butter on the bread sticks and sprinkled the salt and garlic powder on top of it. I hope your bread sticks turned out the way that you wanted them to. Your project for this class is to make these bread sticks. The recipe is in the project section. Please make sure to post a picture of your finished products. Let us know how it went from my kitchen to your kitchen.
