Easy Breadsticks

Adapted from http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2009/10/quick-and-easy-breadsticks.html where you can see pictures of the progress if you want!


1 1/2 C warm water
2 T sugar
1 T yeast
1/2 t salt
3 1/2- 4 C flour
1/4 C butter
3/4 C grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese
Johnny's Garlic Seasoning, or a combination of one part parsley, oregano, and marjoram, and 3 parts garlic salt


1. Mix the water, sugar and yeast together in a measuring cup or in the bottom of your mixer. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

3. Melt the butter and pour half of it onto a large cookie sheet. 

4. Place the dough in the center of the buttery sheet.

5. Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges.

6. Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough and spread it all over the dough. Sprinkle the Johnny's Garlic Seasoning all over the dough, and then the Parmesan cheese. 

7. With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height wise rows.  

8. Put the pan into a 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes. The breadsticks should rise about 1 inch.

9. Turn the oven up to 350 and bake for about another 12 minutes, or until golden brown. 

Enjoy!
