L's Favorite Bread Sticks
½ cup warm water
1 tsp sugar
1 ½ TBSP yeast
Mix above together and let rise for a minute or two.
Add:
1 beaten egg
1 cup warm milk
1 TBSP sugar
3 cups flour
Beat with a spoon and add enough additional flour so that the dough is not sticky or gooey. It may take an additional cup or more. The dough should be soft but firm - not as stiff as bread dough but a little more than what you would do for rolls. Knead together after all ingredients are mixed in for just a minute so dough is smooth. Let rise about 30-60 minutes until double in bulk.
Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place the dough on the cookie sheet and spread with your hands until dough covers the cookie sheet and is even.
Melt ¼ cup butter and spread evenly over dough. Sprinkle the dough generously with salt. Sprinkle with your choice of the following:
· Parmesan cheese
· Poppy seeds
· Celery salt
· Paprika
· Parsley
· Garlic salt and or onion salt
(I usually use parmesan cheese and parsley)
With a pizza cutter, cut the dough into breadsticks. Roll the cutter down the center first, and then make even narrow cuts forming the breadsticks.
Let rise till double in size (it only takes about ½ hour) and bake in a 375 oven for about 15-20 minutes. Best served hot!!
