My wise and all-knowing daughter April made the most amazing bread sticks the other day…almost exactly like the ones that are famous around these parts. They were incredible. So, I begged and pleaded and she finally, finally said I could share the recipe…but only here.
So baby…
…you’re getting the exclusive.
Directions:
2-1/2 cups warm water
2 Tablespoon yeast
1 Tablespoon sugar
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water, let sit.
Pour into mixing bowl and then add the following:
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon salt
3-4 cups flour
Using dough hook attachment, beat until smooth. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough. Knead in machine 2-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place in greased bowl then turn to grease the top.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise 45 min. to 1 hour…
…until double in size.
Punch down and divide in half.
Roll out on floured surface and cut into strips for small bread sticks.
Or divide into 10-12 pieces for large bread sticks or rolls.
Combine 1 beaten egg with 1 T milk.
Brush on breadstick and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Or, dip in melted butter and roll in…
…Parmesan cheese with garlic herb seasoning.
Then let rise.
Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes until slightly brown.
Remove and cool on wire rack.
Now go–impress your friends.
You’ll be famous!
