Quick and Easy Breadsticks

This recipe is from my friend Lindsay!  I love it because it is very easy and my family gobbles them up every time!

3-½ cups Wheat
½ teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 envelope Quick-Rise Yeast (2.5 tsp)
1-½ cup Warm Water (but not hot!)
1/2 stick Butter
Garlic Salt, to taste
⅛ cups Parmesan Cheese (approximately)


Preparation Instructions
Note: The dough is fairly light and sticky, so I prefer to use the dough hook on the KitchenAid
mixer instead of kneading by hand. I also end up using more flour than the recipe calls for.

Combine sugar, yeast and water in measuring cup and allow yeast to proof (bubble up). (5-10 minutes depending on air/water temp and age of yeast)

Whisk together flour and salt then add warm water mixture. Knead thoroughly, for about 10
minutes, until the dough is satiny in texture. If the dough is still too sticky, add 1/4 – 1/2 cup
more flour during the kneading process. Let the dough rest for a few minutes before rolling.
-Melt 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup); use half of it to evenly cover the bottom of a jelly roll pan.
-On a floured surface, roll out the dough to the approximate size of the pan. Transfer the
dough to the pan by draping/rolling it onto the pin. Roll the dough to the edges of the pan (this
can be tricky).
-Cut the dough to your preferred bread stick size using a pizza cutter.
-Use the rest of the melted butter to top the dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic
salt to taste.
Place the pan in an unheated oven and bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes. While the oven
preheats, the dough will rise. Or, alternately, let the dough rise to the top of the pan while
preparing the rest of the meal and bake the bread sticks in a preheated oven for
approximately 15 minutes.
