Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, egg, milk, salt, shortening and half of the flour. Mix well. Add enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Knead 10 minutes (if using a bread mixer, add only enough flour to clean the sides of the mixing bowl. Mix on high for 6 minutes). Cover and let rise until double. Punch down and shape into the breadsticks.

Roll into 12-14 inch ropes then twist left side of rope up while twisting right side of rope down. When you put the ends together the breadstick will twist itself. Place on greased baking sheet, cover and let rise till doubled in size. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 12-14 minutes. Pull out of oven and immediately brush tops with melted butter. Season tops with your choice of herbs, garlic, and cheeses.
