Bread Sticks and Bread Stick Seasoning

Bread Sticks
1 T. yeast
1 1/2 C. warm water
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
3 C. flour
1 cube butter (1/2 C.)

Dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar.  When proofed, add flour and salt.  Mix for 3 minutes.  Let rest 10 minutes.  Melt butter in sided baking sheet.  Roll dough into rectangle.  Cut into sticks.  Roll in butter and leave in pan.    Sprinkle with garlic salt or whatever you choose before baking.  Let rise 10 minutes.  Bake 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Some of my notes.  If your water is too hot it will kill the yeast, but too cold and it will take forever to proof.  Proofing means it is foamy on top.  The sugar helps to feed the yeast.  I have melted the butter in the microwave and then brushed the pan with butter, laid the sticks in the pan, then brushed butter on the tops of them.  That way it doesn't use as much butter.  And last, you should always preheat the oven when baking, even if I don't.


Bread Stick Seasoning
1/2 C. garlic salt
1 C. celery seed
1 C. sesame seed
1 C. paprika
1/4 C. salt
3/4 C. parsley
1/4 C. seasoned salt

Mix all ingredients together and put in container.

I took this recipe from the paper many years ago.  It was one that was used in Davis County schools.  It makes a lot, but I have given it as gifts.  Not only is it good on bread sticks, but I have used it on baked chicken.  My oldest son didn't like salad dressing on his salad and used to use this instead.
