Breadsticks

1 3/4 c. warm water
3 T. sugar
2 tsp. salt
2 T. oil
2 T. yeast
5 c. flour

Spread:
1/2 c. butter, softened (or melted)
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1 tsp. ground mustard
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Prehead oven to 425. Mix all breadstick ingredients. Dough will be a little sticky. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic. (You may need to add a litte flour as you knead, but don't add too much!) Let rise until doubled (about 1 hour). Roll out onto greased cookie sheet. Combine all spread ingredients. Cut dough into slices and spread with butter mixture. (I cut about 1 inch strips all the way down the cookie sheet and then cut those 1 inch strips in half, if that makes sense!)Rise again (about 30 minutes), then bake 10-12 minutes. Yields: 16-20 breasticks depending on how you cut it.

Price Guessimate: Again, I don't know how to guess when it comes to small amounts of baking goods! If anyone has a suggestion, please let me know!

Steph's Comments: I love bread, as I've mentioned before, because it makes any dinner seem nicer, and it's CHEAP to make. These breadsticks are easy and very, very yummy. Sometimes I sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top after they've cooked. Oh are they good! :) I got the recipe from my sister, Heather - thanks Heath!
