Quick and Easy Bread Sticks

I couldn't resist trying a recipe for these yummy looking bread sticks. They came together so quickly and easily and my family gobbled them right up. I loved the addition of garlic seasoning which made them taste like a perfect mix between garlic bread and bread sticks! These will be gracing our table often! Thanks Jamie!

Quick and Easy Bread sticks

Jamie Cooks it up

1 1/2 C warm water
2 T sugar
1 T yeast
1/2 t salt
3 1/4-3 1/2 C flour
1/4 C butter
3/4 C grated Parmesan or mozzarella cheese
Johnny's Garlic Seasoning (you could easily substitute garlic salt, garlic powder, or the garlic bread seasoning you get at the store)

1. Mix the water, sugar and yeast in the bottom of your mixer until the yeast is dissolved. Let it sit for 5 minutes.2. Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.3. Melt the butter and pour half of it into a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet). 4. Place the dough in the center of the pan. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Letting the dough rest makes it MUCH easier to shape. 5. Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges. Doing all of the spreading and cutting of these bread sticks, in the pan makes cleaning up your counter so much easier! 6. Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough. Spread it around with your hands. Sprinkle the Johnnys Garlic Seasoning all over the dough, and then the Parmesan cheese. 7. With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height wise rows. 8. Put the pan into a 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes. The bread sticks should rise about 1 inch.9. Turn you oven up to 350 and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 1 large cookie sheet or about 36 small bread sticks.

* I think these tasted best the day of or at the most the day after they were made. *
