The Breadstick recipe




So someone, Carrot, asked for the recipe for bread sticks from my last post and they are super good and so easy, you could make them for dinner every night of the week. So here it is...

3 tsp Yeast
3 tsp Sugar

1 1/2 cups Really warm water


Combine, those stir and let sit for about 5 min.

Then add

4 cups flour
1 tsp Salt

then mix and knead
I usually just let my mixer knead with the dough hook for 5 min

Then I pour
1/4 cup veg. oil over the dough

Then we make it into bread sticks (or anything really, we braid it, make pretzel shapes and even hearts and circles.) the veg. oil makes them easy to mold and shape without flour or stickiness.

Then I turn on the stove and let it heat, 425 ,with the bread sticks on top and let them raise for 20-30 min, but you do not have to, I just find they are more fluffy that way.
bake for 10 min.

The tops don't look brown, in fact in the pictures on this page they are already cooked. When they come out of the oven I rub butter on the tops and sprinkle with garlic salt with parsley in it. So pretty and yummo!!

I'm not good with yeast, but this doesn't seem too hard. And they look delish. Such cute kids too!
