Charles Smith relies of a bread machine to mix the dough for these buttery golden breadsticks that are mildly seasoned with garlic and basil. I like to use this dough when making pizza, too, says the Baltic, Connecticut reader. It makes two 12-inch crusts. Ingredients:
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70° to 80°) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3 teaspoons garlic powder |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
3 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In bread machine pan, place the first nine ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 20 portions. Shape each into a ball; roll each into a 9-in. rope. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes or until doubled.
3. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Brush warm breadsticks with butter. Yield: 20 breadsticks.
