Bread Sticks

              

Recipe:

1 ½ cups of warm water (105-115 degrees F.)

1 TBSP of Sugar

1 TBSP of Yeast (Dry or bread machine)

½ TSP of Salt

3-4 ½ Cups of Flour, divided

 

Instructions:

1. Combine water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and let stand for 10 minutes or until yeast contains bubbles.

2. Add Salt and then stir. Add ½ Cups of Flour and mix well. Gradually add more flour(between 1 ½ - 2 ½ cups) until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and hardly sticks to your hands.

3. Spray a bowl (glass or metal) with cooking spray and place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 45 minutes or until it’s doubled in bulk.

4. Remove dough from the bowl and place on light floured surface. Spray cooking spray on a baking sheet. Roll the dough into a rectangle that’s 18 inches long and 9 inches wide and then cut the dough into 12 strips with a pizza cutter.

5. Roll out a piece of dough into a snake and then drape the piece of dough over your finger and twist the dough. Place on the baking sheet and repeat the similar process with the 11pieces of remaining dough and try to space them out evenly.

6. Cover the pan with a clean cloth and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes. Around 15minutes, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. After the dough is done rising, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Rub butter on the top of the breadsticks and sprinkle with some Garlic Bread Seasoning.
