30 Minute Breadsticks

Easy Pizza Dough & Bread Sticks

1 Tbsp Yeast                           1 tsp salt

1 ½ cup warm water                About 3 cups flour

2 Tbsp sugar

Mix together as for bread.  Knead 3-5 minutes.  Raise 10 minutes. Knead 3 minutes more.  Roll out thin for pizza or thicker for bread sticks.  Cut into strips and raise 1o minutes more.  Bake 10-15 minutes at 425 for bread sticks; brush with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Cinnamon Twists

1 ½ cups warm water                        ½ tsp salt

¼ cup sugar                                      flour

4 Tbsp butter (soft)                           2 eggs, beaten

1 Tbsp yeast                                     1 tsp. vanilla 
                                                        (optional)

Mix ingredients together.  Continue to add flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough isn’t sticky.  Let rise 1 hour.

Roll dough into rectangle approximately same size as cookie sheet.  Melt 1 cube  butter.  Pour ½ on dough, other half in cookie sheet.  Sprinkle white sugar & cinnamon on dough.  Cut with pizza cutter into ½ inch strips.  Fold over on itself, then twist from both ends.  Place in pan.  Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.  Cool & frost with powdered sugar glaze.

These are some really great breadsticks.  They are quick and easy, and super yummy!  My little 4 year old asks for breadsticks for days after I make them.  I sometimes melt butter on the pan and then dip the breadsticks in the butter.  I then fold the breadstick in half and twist it.  Sometimes I add Parmasan, sometimes just plain.  We love them both ways!
