Homemade Breadsticks


Baking bread is not my strong suit. Well, really anything which requires yeast to rise. So whenever I find a fail-proof recipe for breads, I rejoice! And this is definitely one of those times.

Picture from a different recipe here, but close
 to the same appearance as the ones I made
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp yeast
1 c. warm water
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp oil
2 Tbsp sugar
2 1/2 - 3 1/4 c. flour

Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water, let sit for a couple minutes. 
2. Stir in oil, sugar, salt, and 1 cup flour. Mix until smooth. 
3. Add the rest of flour until it's not really sticky to the touch.
4. Knead or mix in mixer for 5 minutes. 
5. Put dough in a greased bowl, cover with a  towel and let rise in a warm spot for 30-45 minutes. 
6. Pinch off dough and roll out 12 breadsticks. 
7. Baste with melted butter and sprinkle a little garlic salt and parmesan cheese over breadsticks. 
8. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

I made a couple of these without basting them with butter for my dairy-sensitive guy and they still tasted delicious! Don't forget to pair them with this delicious spaghetti sauce recipe!

Enjoy!
