Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1/2 cup sugar, divided |
2 cups warm water (105° to 115°) |
3 tablespoons shortening, melted |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon salt, divided |
6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons caraway seeds |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water in a large bowl, stirring well. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add remaining sugar, shortening, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 1/2 cups flour; beat at low speed of electric mixer until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Roll each piece into an 8-inch rope, and place on greased baking sheets. Brush top of breadsticks with beaten egg. Sprinkle with remaining salt and caraway seeds.
4. Cover and repeat rising procedure 50 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on wire racks to cool.
