    List of Ingredients




    1 cup water
    2 tablespoons olive or garlic oil
    3 -1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon instant yeast ; (I prefer to use 2-1/4 teaspoons

    Recipe



    Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix them together—by hand, mixer or bread machine—till you've made a soft smooth dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn it over once to coat. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 to 1-1/2 hours, or till it's almost doubled in size.

    After the dough has doubled, deflate it and turn it out onto a lightly floured or greased surface. Pat the dough out to a 9 x 15-inch rectangle. Using a knife or a pizza wheel ( a pizza wheel works great here), cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Place the strips on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet (you can twist them if you like to make them look a little fancier), cover and let rise about 30 to 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°. When the breadsticks have risen to almost double, bake in preheat oven for 12 to 15 minutes till golden. Cool on wire racks.
    Yield: 14 breadsticks

    Variations:
    Onion breadsticks: add 1 tablespoon dried minced onion and 1 teaspoon onion powder to the dough ingredients.

    Garlic and rosemary breadsticks: add 1 tablespoon garlic powder and 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary to the dough.

    Parmesan breadsticks: add 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese to the dough ingredients, and sprinkle the breadsticks with 1/4 cup grated cheese before baking.
