Tonight for dinner I made my version of "Olive Garden" breadsticks. They came out perfect! I used a couple of recipes and my own bread sense to come up with the recipe...
1/2 Stick Butter melted
1 cup + 1T. warm water
2 T. Sugar
1 t. Salt
3 C. Bread Flour
1.5 t. Yeast
I put all of this in my bread machine on the "dough" cycle.
After the dough cycle is complete take out the dough and shape into 16 bread sticks about 7 inches long (For me this is the distance of my thumb to my pinkie with my fingers spread). Cover and let rise again about 60 minutes or until doubled. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Half way through brush with a butter mixture:
1/2 stick butter
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
When breadsticks are done brush a second time with leftover butter mixture.
PERFECTLY YUMMY!!
