I really enjoy making recipes I've acquired from loved ones and friends throughout the years. Each time I prepare one, it's a trip down memory lane. Whenever I make my Great Grandma Peck's rolls, I remember her house and how it always smelled of fresh baked bread and canned sweet pickles. Or when I make my friend Susanna's Candy Bar Cake, I somehow start talking with a Southern accent. There's the preface to my new blog section: Recipes!
Our family fell in love with those new breadsticks you just heat & eat from the freezer section of the store. I have been on a quest to find a really good breadstick recipe ever since. The breadsticks we made as kids resembled dried up playdough, and I wanted something super soft and yummy. I found it this Sunday! It's from allrecipes.com (for the most part).
Ingredients
1 1/8 cups warm water
2 TBS olive or canola oil
3 TBS grated Parmesan cheese
2 TBS sugar
3 tsp garlic powder (I used garlic salt, then reduced the regular salt)
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp minced basil
3 cups flour
2 tsp active dry yeast
Place ingredients in breadmaker, in the order listed. Select the dough setting, and start the machine. When cycle is completed (I just let mine run for 10-20 minutes), turn dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 20 portions, shape into balls, then roll each into a 9 inch rope. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 40 minutes, or until doubled in size. Bake @ 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Brush warm breadsticks with butter.
