Bread Sticks

Recipe for: Bread Sticks
From: Karen Miner

1/2 c. warm water
1 Tbsp. yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar

Dissolve yeast in water, add sugar. When dissolved, mix:

2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 egg, unbeaten
3/4 c. warmed milk

Add this mixture to yeast. Will be gooey. Let rise 1 hour. Pour out on floured board and add enough flour to just knead lightly. Roll out into a rectangle (handle carefully – don’t roll hard). Cut down middle, lengthwise, then cut each half into sticks, cutting short side of dough. Dip top of each stick in melted butter & then parmesan cheese. Place on cookie sheet and let rise 1 hour. Bake on middle rack at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
