My kids love these nice tender breadsticks, and so down anyone else who tastes them. Any leftovers are great with butter and honey for breakfast the next day. -Elaine Anderson Aliquippa, Pennsylvania Ingredients:
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1/2 cup sugar, divided |
2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon salt |
4-1/2 to 5 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1 cup warm water. Add the oil, egg, salt, 2 cups flour, and remaining sugar and water. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a 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 40 minutes.
3. Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a 6-in. rope. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
4. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cream the butter, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Serve with breadsticks. Yield: 3 dozen breadsticks and about 2/3 cup butter.
