After it has risen, punch the dough down, place on a lightly floured surface, and split it in two. *You can create a warm space by placing the covered bowl with the dough in a TURNED OFF oven with another bowl that's full of warm tap water. ⑤ The dough is then placed in an oiled bowl, covered, and placed in a warm spot for about an hour or until it doubles in size. If the dough is still slightly sticky, that's okay! *If using an electric mixer, knead with the dough hook on medium-low speed for 4-6 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. You can add more flour by the tablespoon if the dough is too stick to knead, but make sure not to add too much flour. ④ On a well floured surface, knead the dough with floured hands for about 4-6 minutes until it becomes a smooth and elastic ball. *If using an electric mixer, mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using the dough hook on low speed until it all comes together. Slowly stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a wooden spoon. ③ In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning. ② Next, add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the yeast. If it doesn't then your yeast is probably dead, and you will need to start over with new yeast. Your yeast should get frothy after about 5 minutes. *If using an electric mixer, use the mixer's bowl. In a large bowl, activate 1 teaspoon active dry yeast in 3/4 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon honey or sugar. ① First thing, let's talk about the breadstick hands! The dough is a very basic breadstick dough. ✽ Black olives: We'll be using sliced black olives so they look like pupils on top of the meatballs! ✽ Béchamel sauce: Consists of basic ingredients- butter, flour, milk, salt, & white pepper ✽ Oil: For pan-frying the meatballs, I use vegetable oil. ✽ Flavorings for Meatballs: Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, & pepper This combination also adds moisture to the meatballs and prevent the meatballs from shrinking too much during the cooking process. ✽ Breadcrumbs + Milk + Egg: Breadcrumbs and egg act as binding agents keep the meatballs' shape. They have so much more flavor and are pretty simple to whip together! You could also use frozen meatballs or pre-made meatballs for this recipe, but I much rather make my own meatballs. ✽ Ground Pork + Beef: While you can just use one type of meat for these meatballs, I prefer the flavor when both pork and beef are combined in a 50:50 ratio. ✽ Breadstick Seasonings: salt, garlic powder, & Italian seasoning ✽ Flour: I use all-purpose flour for these breadstick hands. ✽ Olive oil: Adds flavor and makes dough soft. ✽ Honey: Adds great flavor to the dough and feeds the yeast. ✽ Yeast: We'll use active dry yeast for this recipe. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast, and you will need to start over with new yeast. ✽ Warm water: About 110☏ (43☌) to activate the yeast.
