Bread Sticks

Recipe from Emily Crowther
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. warm water
1 12 tsp. instant yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3 cups bread flour

For brushing:
3 Tbsp. butter melted
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning

In a bowl, combine all ingredients for dough except flour.  Gradually stir in flour.  Knead until smooth and elastic.  Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a dry towel.   Let rise until doubled in size, a out 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 400.  Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.  Meanwhile combine ingredients for brushing.  When done, remove breadsticks from oven and immediately brush with butter mixture.  Serve warm.
