Quik 'n EZ Breadsticks
These are a huge hit at my house. I'll forever be in debt to my friend Jamie at Jamie Cooks It Up for sharing this one!
I don't think my version has altered from hers in any significant way, so this recipe is courtesy of her! I use different salt and less butter, but it's her recipe all the way.
Yields: 36 small bread sticks
Time: 45 minutes
*I have started using Bread Flour for bread sticks and rolls, and have seen a big improvement, but you can use either for this recipe, I have found.
1 1/2 c warm water
2 T sugar
1 T yeast
1/2 tsp salt
4 c flour
1/3 c melted butter
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Seasoned Salt
-Mix the water, sugar and yeast, and let it sit 5 minutes.
-Add the salt and one cup of flour at a time.
-Mix on HIGH for 5 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes.
-I roll the dough out until it's a pretty good sized rectangle that I can then manipulate into a lightly greased cookie pan.
-Spread dough out with your fingers and then I softly smooth with a large cup or rolling pin.
-Brush on melted butter, sprinkle seasonings and cheese.
-Slice with a pizza cutter, before baking! Sometimes I go three rows, sometimes I just do long sticks and only half the pan before cutting them into 1" sticks.
-Raise in a pre-heated 170* oven for 15-20 minutes, and then just crank up the heat and finish baking at 350* for 12-15 minutes or until they're brown enough for ya.
MY SECRET TRICK....
So....
After I've got it all smoothed out, but BEFORE I season, I take a thick piece of tin foil and wedge it down one third of the way through the pan. I salt and cheese the 2/3 side. Then on the other side, using the foil as a 'wall' I spread lots of brown sugar and cinnamon on. Then we have dessert. I just open a jar of quick and easy frosting, from Pillsbury or Betty Crocker and VIOLA! Cinna sticks.
Sometimes I 'wall' it half way, other times, we skip the bread sticks and just do easy Cinna Sticks for a crowd. When I'm feeling ambitious, I make homemade frosting. But suffice it to say, we use this trick A LOT.
