Breadsticks

This is the same recipe as the Regular Crust pizza dough.

Breadsticks

3 cups flour

1 tbsp instant yeast (I like SAF Instant yeast)

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 tbsp oil

1 cup hot water

Mix dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients. If using a Kitchen Aid, mix until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. I usually mix it for a few minutes in the Kitchen Aid and then take it out and finish kneading it by hand. If you are not using a Kitchen Aid, mix the ingredients until combined and then knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic. Add more flour if necessary.Place in a oiled bowl and cover with saran wrap and a dish towel and let rise until it's doubled in size (approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on the temperature of the room).

Hand press into a rectangle type shape and then fold over and cut into strips (about 9-10). I like to twist mine and place them on a pizza stone sprinkled with corn meal. Brush with melted butter or margarine and sprinkle desired spices (we like a little garlic salt and garlic herb or roasted garlic) and parmesan cheese. We often leave them plain and then dip them in garlic dipping sauce. Instead of dipping them in the garlic dipping sauce sometimes I just brush them with margarine as soon as they come out of the oven.

Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 15 mins or until browned on top.

Enjoy!
