Garlic Breadsticks

These are so easy and so good!

Prep time:12 min Total Time: 30-35 min

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. yeast (quick rise yeast works best)
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4-1/2 cup melted butter
garlic salt
grated Parmesan cheese

Combine water, sugar and yeast. Let yeast activate. Combine flour and salt and mix into yeast mixture. Pour melted butter on cookie sheet. Flatten out (I just do it with my hands, not a rolling pin) dough in big 12-14 inch circle let rise 5-10 minutes. Cut in half with pizza cutter (hamburger way through the circle) and then cut into pieces the opposite way. Put a very light layer of butter over top of dough (optional) sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan (shredded works best). Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes, until golden on top.


***NOTE: You can also use this same recipe for a pizza dough. Make the dough, you can use the whole ball of dough for the pizza if you like a really thick crust. (We like to split the dough in two & do one pizza & use the rest for bread sticks.) Next, poke the dough lightly with a fork, brush edges with a beaten egg mixed with a little milk-to give it that golden shiny look, add toppings & cook for another 10 minutes. After cooking, you can also turn to broil & let it really cook the top, but only for a minute!
Enjoy!!
