These slightly chewy breadsticks have plenty of garlic and cheese flavor. Whenever I make these breadsticks, my three daughters will eat every last one if I let them, relates Melinda Rhoads of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. Ingredients:
1-3/4 to 2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon honey |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes |
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil |
2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, wheat germ, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water, 1 tablespoon oil and honey to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Roll into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; press dough to edges of pan. Brush with remaining oil. Sprinkle with parsley, basil and garlic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 3-5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown. Cut into 20 strips. Serve warm. Yield: 20 breadsticks.
