List of Ingredients
-- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
-- 3/4 cup lukewarm water (about 100 degrees)
-- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-- 2 tablespoons olive oil
-- 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
-- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Recipe
Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl. Let
stand for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is foamy.
Add the flour, olive oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt; mix by hand
using a rubber spatula until a smooth dough forms. Cover the bowl
with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm, draft- free place until
doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cheese, black pepper, cayenne and the remaining 3/4
teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece on a lightly
floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and 14 to 16
inches long. Sprinkle the dough with the cheese mixture and fold in
half.
Roll out the dough again to its previous size. Cut the dough into
very thin, long strips measuring 1/8 inch wide by about 16 inches
long.
Place the strips on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12
minutes, or until golden.
Transfer the breadsticks to racks to cool. Serve at room temperature.
Yields about 48 breadsticks.
