breadstick recipe

hi all!


i hope you had a happy new year!  i wanted to share a recipe with you that i just finished using to make breadsticks with.  i found it while searching "pizza hut breadsticks recipe".  yeah i was craving breadsticks :]  i'd have to say this one is pretty close, though it could use more butter if you wanted it to have that layer of oil (like how pizza hut does).  i chose not to add anymore butter.  they were delicious as-is.  i was also really excited about not having to wait an hour plus for the yeast to assist the bread in rising (i'm not patient enough to wait for this rising business).  baking it at a low temperature - whodathunk?


i ate some and the bf ate some and i foiled the rest for days ahead (just take out of the fridge and toast/bake!)

Quick and Easy Breadsticks

Yield: 36 small breadsticks Time: 45 minutes start to finish Recipe from my cousin Pam Corry 1 1/2 C warm water 2 T sugar 1 T yeast 1/2 t salt 3 1/2- 4 C flour 1/4 C butter (not that nasty margarine crap) 3/4 C grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese Johnny's Garlic Seasoning  note from me:  (if you don't have garlic seasoning, i would just use fresh garlic or garlic powder.  that's what i ended up doing) 1. Mix the water, sugar and yeast together in a measuring cup or in the bottom of your mixer. Let it sit for 5 minutes. 2. Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. 3. Melt the butter and pour half of it into a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet).  4. Place the dough in the center of the pan. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Letting the dough rest makes it MUCH easier to shape.  5. Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges. Doing all of the spreading and cutting of these bread sticks, in the pan makes cleaning up your counter so much easier!  6. Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough. Spread it around with your hands. Sprinkle the Johnny's Garlic Seasoning all over the dough, and then the Parmesan cheese.  7. With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height wise rows.  8. Put the pan into a 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes. The breadsticks should rise about 1 inch. 9. Turn you oven up to 350 and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. 10. When they come out of the oven let them sit and rest again for about 5 minutes. Then redefine your cutting lines with the pizza cutter. 11. I use a pair of cooking scissors to cut the edges where the pizza cutter can't reach. That's it! They are wonderful. I have played around with a variety of things that can be put on the top. I will post those recipes in the days to come!  Johnny's Garlic Spread seasoning is one in a million. I buy it at Costco, and keep several in my long term food storage. It's really great to have on hand. ENJOY!
