Bread Sticks

It seems like I get asked for this recipe all of the time so it seems right to start with this one.

Mix together:
2 1/2 c. warm water
1 T. sugar
1 T. yeast
2 T. margarine
Let sit until bubbly.

Next add 2 cups flour and 1 t. salt and mix well. Mix/knead in 3-4 more cups of flour until no longer sticky.

Shape into bread sticks or spread dough onto a greased jelly roll pan and cut with a pizza cutter to make bread sticks. Brush dough with butter (I like to use a butter spray) and sprinkle with garlic salt. (You can also sprinkle Parmesan cheese on the dough if you like.)

Let rise up to 30 minutes. (You do not have to let these rise at all if you are happy with the size. I usually put them straight into the oven at this point.)

Bake at 400* for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush or spray with butter again and then bake at 425* for 5 minutes longer or until tops are starting to brown.

Remove from pan immediately and serve. I like to serve this with Alfredo sauce for dipping. You can also serve with marinara or just by themselves.


This is not my recipe. I got it from a friend who got it somewhere else.
