I have search high and low for a good bread stick recipe. I have tried many recipes but they seem to end in failure. But I will search no more, I finally found one worthy of my approval. They were super easy and fast to make. This recipe comes from another wonderful blog I have discovered. Before I baked the bread sticks, I brushed them with butter then sprinkled garlic salt and Parmesan cheese on top. Mike and the kids ate the whole batch!!

from www.Fortheloveofcooking.blogspot.com
1 1/2 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
1 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp yeast
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 - 4 1/2 cups of flour
Combine the water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes or until the yeast is bubbly.
Add salt to the mixture and stir. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix well. Gradually add more flour until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and it barely sticks to your finger - it's usually 3-4 cups depending on your elevation and humidity.
Spray a metal or glass bowl with cooking spray and place the ball of dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes or until it's doubled in size.
Remove the dough from the bowl and place on a floured surface. Place on a baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Gently roll the dough into a rectangle then cut into 20 strips with a pizza cutter.
Twist the dough or wrap it around your finger then place each twisted bread stick onto the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough making sure to leave some room between each bread stick. Cover pan and allow dough to rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. When the bread is done rising, bake for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown. Rub the tops of the bread sticks with butter then sprinkle with garlic salt or Parmesan cheese.
