Breadsticks

I made this tonight with our baked spaghetti. I got them off of an awesome recipe blog that a friend of a friend told me about called My Kitchen Cafe (check it out...just click here). They were really good. The dough was really, really sticky and so even as I put them on the cookie sheet (and they were totally sticking to my hands) they didn't look very pretty--but once they rose and baked, they looked good. The recipe also said that they dry out if you use too much flour in them--so I really didn't use very much flour at all in rolling them out. They were easy to make and I'm a total sucker for any type of homemade bread...

Divine Breadsticks

1 ½ cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
2 tablespoons sugar3 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
Butter for the pan

Mix all ingredients (except butter) and knead for three minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt desired amount of butter on baking pan (the original recipe called for 1 entire stick of butter - that was way too much for my taste - I used four tablespoons). Roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick and cut into strips. Place in butter and put close together. Sprinkle liberally with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Cover and let rise 30 minutes. Bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees.
