Breadsticks

I took a nap after church instead of starting rolls and woke up in a pinch needing to satisfy my carb desire.  I found this recipe on Sisters Cafe.  Husband, kids, and mother approved.  They are great, especially for the time and ingredients they take.  Sorry for my pathetic picture...

Our Favorite Breadsticks 

Submitted by Melanie~The Sisters Cafe

1 ½ cup warm water

1 Tablespoon yeast

2 Tablespoons sugar

3 ½ cup flour

½ tsp salt

4 Tablespoons butter  

Mix the yeast and sugar together then add it to warm water.  Let it sit and bubble for a few minutes.  Add the salt and flour.  Knead for 3 minutes then let the dough rest for 10 minutes.  Melt the butter and pour most of it onto a cookie sheet.  Roll out dough to fit the cookie sheet.  Then flip all the dough over to coat both sides in butter.  Cut the dough to desired width, then twist and lay on the cookie sheet. Brush remainder of butter on breadsticks and sprinkle with garlic salt, parmesan cheese, and parsley (or whatever seasonings you like). Raise for 10-20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
