Easy Breadsticks

My daughter ate these breadsticks at her cross country team dinner before Districts. She came home and raved about how perfect they were in much detail! 

This is actually a pizza dough recipe. The only difference for breadsticks is the pan and adding the seasonings before baking.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425°. In an electric mixer, whisk together and dissolve…

2 tablespoons active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

2 cups warm water (between 110-115°)

Let rest for 10 minutes. Then whisk in…

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2-4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Change to a bread hook and add 4 cups flour. Knead with more flour as needed if dough is extra sticky. 

Butter a cookie sheet with softened butter. Roll out dough on pan to get it started, finish pressing dough into the edges evenly with hands. Brush with melted better, sprinkle on garlic salt, and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes. With a pizza cutter, cut across the short center, then cut thin long strips lengthwise to make 16 breadsticks. 

* For thicker breadsticks, let rise for 30 minutes before baking.
