Soft and Fast Bread Sticks
1 c. warm water
3 T. brown sugar
1 t. salt
1/4 c. oil
2 1/2 c. bread flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour (can use all bread flour if desired)
2 1/2 t. yeast
Put all in order in the bread machine. Set to dough cycle. Let rise in
the machine. Take out and pat into a semi-long rectangle, (about 9x11).
Take a pizza cutter and slice lengthwise into 7 or 8 strips. Take one
strip at a time and twist a bit before laying on a greased cookie sheet.
Do the rest of the strips putting them an inch away from each other on
the pan. Cover and let rise. (I do this in a warm place, they rise fast.)
Then cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. (If I want thinner breadsticks I
cut them thinner and into 14 or 15 strips.) Enjoy!
*Prisca took this recipe and brushed some of the risen breadsticks with
olive oil, then sprinkled them with herbs. I tried this, and it was a big
hit! I called them "Italian breadsticks," and my husband said he liked
these better than my other ones. Prisca also took half of the dough and
made cinnamon twists. I did this as well. Oh, did my kids go nuts over
these! I took strip of dough, cut it in half, and twisted it. Then I let
them rise and brushed them with melted butter, after sprinkling with a
little cinnamon/sugar. (I believe Prisca used turbino sugar, but I didn't
have that on hand.) They were all baked the same amount of time.
*Mary Jane took the dough and made balls to put in her freezer. She then
took them out and put three each in a greased muffin tin to let rise. She
said they were like a cloverleaf roll. I did this as well, and everyone
thought I had made a new recipe! It was fun and delicious.
I did all three new ideas in one day, from the same recipe, but my family
thought I made all these from three different recipes. Shhhhhh, don't
tell them. ~Smile~ Thank you, Mary Jane and Prisca!
Have a wonderful week learning all that He has for you.
