Bread Sticks

BREAD STICKS
1 T yeast 1 1/2 c warm water
2 T sugar 3 c flour
1/2 tsp salt

Disolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and salt. Knead in flour for about 3 minutes. May add more flour so dough isn't sticky but still very soft. Let rest 10 minutes. Roll out onto greased surface. Melt 3/4 cube butter on jelly roll pan. Add garlic if you would like. Cut dough into bread sticks. I like to pick them up, fold in half and twist the two ends together. Roll sticks in butter and lay on pan. You can sprinkle with parmesan cheese if you like. Raise 1o more minutes. Bake in 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minute until golden brown. It is good to add a few sprinkles of shredded mozarella cheese a few minutes before removing from oven.

These bread sticks are yummy, easy and fairly quick. We also use this dough for pizza crust.
