Divine Breadsticks

This recipe is from my neighbor Danielle. These breadsticks were AMAZING! And beyond easy to make. I followed her steps below except the toppings used. I used Costco's garlic spread over the top and some parmesan cheese. YUMMY! 

So, I followed the recipe with these changes:

You need a full cube of butter melted.  When you use that much they are even better than Pizza Hut breadsticks

First, after you mix/knead the dough and let it rest, take 3/4 stick of real butter melted and throw it in the jellyroll/cookie sheet pan.  Then just blop the dough on there and use a rolling pin and your fingers to squish it out onto the pan.

put the rest of the stick of melted butter on the top and sprinkle with garlic salt and maybe italian seasoning and parmesan cheese.

Then, take the pizza cutter and cut it into strips.

Let it raise bake as it says in the recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 ½ cups flour (I usually use a combination of unbleached all-purpose flour and white whole wheat flour but use whatever you have on hand!)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted (for the baking sheet)--that is her thoughts.  Use a full cube-see above.

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients (except melted butter) in a large bowl or electric mixer and knead for three minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread melted butter onto an 11X17-inch baking sheet (I ignore the rest of this and just squish it out on the baking sheet). Roll out the breadstick dough about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Twist slightly if desired and place about 1/2-inch apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt, herbs of choice (I vary this depending on my mood but it usually consists of rosemary, basil, or thyme in some form and crushed finely) and parmesan cheese.
2. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise 30 minutes. Bake 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until golden brown.
