Homemade Breadsticks

1 1/2 cups very warm water (approx 110 degrees)

1 Tbls instant yeast

1 Tbls canola oil

2 Tbls sugar

3 - 3 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

3 Tbls butter, melted

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add to mixing bowl with sugar, oil and salt. Dissolve sugar and salt before adding flour. Cover bowl with damp towel and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

While dough is resting, cover cookie sheet with the 3 Tbls melted butter. You can even use garlic butter if you want. Pull out dough and roll to 1/4 - 1/2 thick and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Lay out on cookie sheet 1/2 inch apart and sprinkle with more butter and herbs of your choice. I brushed mine with garlic butter and sprinkled with italian seasoning, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese. Cover with greased plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30 min - 1 hour. Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes.
