These bread sticks are a favorite at my house, (at at Swim Team dinners, and band potlucks) and they are fairly simple. I have to do a double (or quadruple) batch every time just so no one feels like they didn't get enough. I guess the best thing is when I make these, I have to make less of everything else :-).
The recipe was given to me by a friend, and they are a welcome addition to any Italian meal.
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp yeast
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
6 Tbsp butter or margarine
garlic powder, dried parsley, Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix
warm water, sugar and yeast in mixing bowl (I use my Bosch mixer but can be done by hand or in a Kitchen Aid). Add the flour, and knead for 5-8
minutes or so with the dough hook. The dough is soft, but it shouldn't
be sticky, add more flour in small amounts if needed. Knead well between additions. Let rise until double (when I am in a hurry I also just let
it rise for 5 to 10 minutes).
Place butter
in 9x13 baking dish and melt in preheated oven, watch carefully so it doesn't burn. Roll into a
rectangle on to lightly floured surface. Cut into strips ( I use my
pizza cutter and I cut the strips in half to make them shorter, to have
"more" bread sticks for everyone to eat.) Twist each strip of dough by
folding in half and wrapping around itself. Dip in butter and arrange
in the hot baking dish. After all are in the dish, sprinkle on desired
toppings. I use garlic powder, and dried parsley all the time, occasionally I add Parmesan cheese, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes,
or until golden brown on the bottom.
