Ingredients You’ll Need for Quick & Easy Sheet Pan Breadsticks

1½ cups warm water (water temp 105° – 115°)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp yeast
3¾ cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup melted butter
½ cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
1 tsp garlic salt
1½ tsp Italian seasoning

How to Make Quick & Easy Sheet Pan Breadsticks

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, salt, and yeast. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes bubbly and frothy.
Using the dough hook attachment on your mixer, gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix until the dough starts to form a loose ball.
Cover the mixing bowl with a dish towel and let the dough proof for 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Melt your butter and pour half onto the bottom of the prepared sheet pan.
Place the proofed dough in the center of the sheet pan. Starting from the middle, gently press the dough outward, working it toward the edges until it covers the bottom of the pan.
Pour the remaining melted butter over the surface of the dough, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
Sprinkle the finely grated Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning evenly across the top for a delicious flavor boost.
Allow the breadsticks to sit for about 15-20 minutes or until the dough has risen approximately one inch.
Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into rows—there’s no right or wrong size here; make them as big or small as you like!
Bake the breadsticks for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden and irresistibly fragrant.
Once they’re done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Delicious Variations to Try

Herbed Breadsticks: Add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary or basil to the dough for an extra aromatic touch.
Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks: Mix some shredded mozzarella cheese into the dough or on top before baking for a gooey, cheesy delight.
Spicy Twist: Incorporate crushed red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños into the dough or sprinkle on top for an added kick.
Cinnamon Honey Drizzle: For a sweeter version, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top and drizzle with warm honey after baking.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-ahead: You can prepare the dough a day in advance. After the first rise, cover and refrigerate it overnight. Just let it come to room temperature before proceeding with the rest of the steps.
Ingredient swaps: Feel free to use whole wheat flour for a healthier option or substitute the Parmesan with any cheese you prefer.
Storage suggestions: Store any leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just reheat in the oven.
