Breadsticks

Not so thick they are to filling, soft in the middle, slightly crispy on the bottom!!! Mmmmmm:)

1Tbsp. Yeast
1½ C. Water (116 degrees if yeast is refrigerated, 110 if it is not)
2Tbsp. Sugar
½ Tsp Salt
3C. Flour (approximately)
½ C. Butter
Garlic Salt, to taste
Parmesan Cheese, to taste


Dissolve yeast in water. Let stand until foamy. Add sugar, salt, flour. Mix and knead until smooth and elastic. I use a flat beater on speed 1 on my KitchenAid until dough thickens then switch to a dough hook on speed 2 for the rest.  Let dough rise for 10 min.  In a flat dish or pan melt butter. Roll out dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut into approximately 1x4inch strips. you can make them as thick or thin as you'd like at this point, youll just have to adjust the cook time and temp a little. Roll each strip in melted butter covering all sides. Arrange on baking sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan-or any other kind-cheese. Let rise 15-20 more min. Bake @ 350 for 15-18 min.

FREEZABLE: Freeze dough in ball before rising. When ready to use set out to defrost and rise and continue recipe from there. Or rollout and cut into strips and freeze from that point. When ready to use set out to defrost, roll in butter and season, rise, and bake. When dough is frozen for a long time the yeast doesnt work as well. Though it still tastes fine, if you don't use the dough soon enough it wont rise and will be a little flat:)But still good!
