I love breadsticks. If I could, I'd make a meal out of them. Garlicky, cheesey, crisp on the outside but soft on the inside breadsticks are, for me, a perfect food. And what better to pair with some delicious spaghetti than some equally delicious breadsticks?
I was amazed at how easy these breadsticks were to make. Yeast bread has always seemed intimidating to me, so I expected these to be difficult to mix, take forever to rise... boy, was I wrong. These were so incredibly easy, I had dinner on the table in no time!
I found this recipe over on Angies Pangies. Go check out her post... the story about her husband making the breadsticks is hilarious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
- Garlic salt
- Shredded Parmesan cheese
Cooking Directions
- Mix water, brown sugar, salt, oil, flour, and yeast.
- You can allow these to rise and punch them down once before you roll them out, if you desire, but it is not necessary.
- Roll out into a 10×12 inch rectangle on a floured surface.
- Use a butter knife, or a pastry cutter, and cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
- Give each strip a twist and place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Let rise for at least 20 minutes.
- Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.
- Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.
