Breadsticks

This recipe is my Mom's, and I still haven't found one I like better. All of the melted butter twisted into the dough probably has something to do with it, and a simpler recipe you won't find. I wanted to get a nice picture with the pan full... but this is just what happens when these come out of the oven.

Breadsticks

1 1/2 c warm (130 degree) water
1 T yeast
2 T sugar
1/2 t salt
3 c flour (I do half whole wheat)
1/3 c melted butter

Sprinkle water with yeast and sugar and make sure it bubbles. Add half of the flour and the salt and mix until elastic (2-5 minutes.) Add the rest of the flour and knead 3 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes. Melt butter on a jellyroll pan (pictured above.) Roll out 1/2 inch thick and cut into strips. Place on the warm pan and twist until they're all coated with butter. Space out evenly and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan. Let rise 20-40 minutes or until fluffy. Bake 375 for 20 minutes.
