Present these long and thin breadsticks in a tall clear glass alongside an Italian favorite like lasagna or spaghetti.—Carol Wolfer, Lebanon, Oregon
Ingredients:
3 to 3-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
coarse salt
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the milk, water and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
3. Punch dough down. Pinch off golf ball-size pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll into pencil-size strips. Place on greased baking sheets 1 in. apart. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.
4. Beat egg white and cold water; brush over breadsticks. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans to wire racks. Yield: about 18 breadsticks.
