Soft and Yummy Breadsticks




1/2 cup warm water
2 TBS yeast
3 TBS sugar
1 TBS salt
1/3 cup canola oil (or vegetable)
2 cups very hot tap water
6 cups flour
1/4 cup butter
garlic salt
parmesan cheese (I usually use the 100% grated kind)

1. Whisk yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside.

2. In large bowl; mix salt, oil, and 2 cups very hot tap water. Stir until salt looks dissolved. Add 3 cups flour. Mix well.

3. Add yeast mixture and mix.

4. Stir in remaining 3 cups flour. When flour is all stirred in well, cover and let dough raise for 50 minutes.

5. After dough has risen, punch dough down. Turn oven to 400℉. While oven is warming up, put a cookie sheet with the butter on it in the oven. Leave it in until the butter melts. Then pull pan out.

6. Take desired amount of dough and flatten and lengthen then give it a twist to make it look like a bread stick. Roll it in the melted butter on pan and place on pan. Repeat with all dough. Depending on how big you make them you should make about 16-20 breadsticks.

7. When all breadsticks are on the pan sprinkle lightly with garlic salt. Then liberally sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes or until breadsticks are lightly browned.

Note: You can sprinkle with salad supreme seasoning or whatever else you choose.
