Bread Sticks

Fast and Easy Bread Sticks
(and Pizza Dough)Britney Watson

In a large mixing bowl combine:
2 1/4 cups warm water
2 TB yeast
2 TB sugar
**wait for yeast to float to the top
Then add
5-6 cups of flour
2 tsp salt

I let the dough hook in my mixer knead the dough for a few minutes.
Let the dough raise 20-30 minutes. Roll into snakes and twist slightly for a nice look. Brush with butter (and garlic powder, parmesan cheese, italian seasonings if you want). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until golden brown. This makes about two dozen breadsticks and two pizza crusts.
