Breadsticks

Hello everyone!  Today's recipe is breadsticks.  They are no-where near the caliber of Olive Garden's, but are still good.  When I made these, I baked a few of them with cinnamon sugar sprinkled over the top.  This is one of those recipes that can go either way, which is handy, because then you can make them to go with breakfast.  You probably shouldn't though, it wouldn't be very healthy!  Although, who am I to talk?  I eat pumpkin pie for breakfast after Thanksgiving!  Anyway, on to the recipe!

Breadsticks

6 oz. water, room temp.

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 egg, beaten

cinnamon sugar, optional

Directions

Put all ingredients into a bread maker, except egg and cinnamon sugar.  Press start/stop to clear display.  Select dough setting. Press start/stop.  When unit display reads 0:00, press start/stop and remove dough.

Preheat oven to 450*.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Divide dough into 9 equal pieces.  Roll each into an 8-inch rope.  Place on cookie sheet.  Brush with beaten egg.  Sprinkle with as much cinnamon as desired.  Bake for 12-15 minutes or until done.  Enjoy!

Hey!  I just thought of something else you could do with these!  You could imbed a cheese stick in them and serve them warm, so that it would be like bosco sticks!  If you do try that, leave a comment to tell us how they turned out!  I hope you all enjoy these!
