Garlic Breadsticks

Adapted from Koyle Family Cookbook

Recipe Submitted by Kamilee Koyle

These are delicious to serve with soups. I have substituted the white bread flour for whole wheat flour too and they were delicious-just use a bit less of the wheat flour.

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp. yeast

1/2 cup warm water

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup shortening

1 tsp. salt or garlic salt

1 cup warm water

1 egg

3-3 1/2 cups bread flour

Raise 1 Tbsp. yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add sugar, shortening, salt, 1 cup water, egg and flour. Knead for 5-10 minutes adding flour as needed. Let rise to double. Divide in half. Roll each half out on a cookie sheet to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut strips with a pizza cutter. Let rise 15 minutes. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Brush with a mixture of garlic salt and melted butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
