Equipment​

  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Sheet Pan

Ingredients​

  • 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water divided
  • 4 1/4 Cups flour
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Topping:​

  • 3 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Instructions​

  • To make the dough place 1/4 c warm water in a bowl and sprinkle yeast on top, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes until foamy..
  • Add the sugar, butter, salt and 4 cups flour into a mixer. Add in yeast mixture, remaining water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  • Add some additional flour (1/4 cup or more) and continue mixing until a nice soft, smooth dough forms.
  • Place on floured counter top and divide dough in half, forming two one foot long logs of dough.
  • Cut each log into 8 even pieces. Roll each piece into a 7 inch long breadstick. You will have 16 breadsticks.
  • Place the breadsticks on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place breadsticks about 1- 1 1/2 inches apart. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 204°C
  • Make the topping and brush the breadsticks with 1/2 the mixture before baking.
  • Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  • After you remove from the oven brush with the remaining butter mixture.

Notes​

  • The recipe makes about 16 bread sticks which is too many for my reduced size family so I usually cut the recipe in half and it still works great. Eight bread sticks was enough for dinner and a few for leftovers too.
  • If you need to make these extra quick and easy, you can use some frozen bread dough to make the breadsticks and no one will probably know the difference! You will get 8 breadsticks out of one loaf of frozen bread dough. You can also use frozen rolls and make one breadstick from each roll (they will be slightly smaller)

Your comprehension, like your education, is lacking. Let me explain - "my" being you! I believe it was temp, not ingredients. BB did respond to the question as it is her post/recipe, but you have to be a braggart, and refer people to YOUR blog! I know you have read several bibles, surely you know what "He" says about boasters/braggarts. You do like your fame and soapbox. Or play your plausible deniability card.
I was not bragging I was stating the temperature as babybird had never replied and still didn't.

At least I have cooked every recipe I have posted.

Again your mouth is spewing vial words and again you are not making sense.

If babybird had answered the question then I would not have answered .

If a person ask a question and I know the answer then I will give it.

You have just lost all my respect , not how you have spoken to me but how you have attacked others including littleboy8

LOL...Once again comprehension is not your forte. You can take the girl out of the Cross, but not the Cross out of the girl!
I'm ending this discussion with you. I have better things to do like make my meatballs.

I will not reply to anything you post again and I would appreciate it that you never reply to anything I post.

I think you are in desperate need of help, and I hope you get it.

And stop degrading people. I can deal with in but others may not.

Thanks for the delightful afternoon 😊

Leave religion out of it. I'm the first to admit I'm not perfect

Let him who is sin free cast the first stone. Guessing you think you are perfect
LOL ...again your comprehension is lacking. BB did reply. They asked a question and you referred them to your blog!
As for losing your and little boys respect - LOL. you would have to be kidding yourself! Do you really think I would want it? You are clueless and I truly believe you are that crazy...but I also believe you don't even know when you are being insufferably rude and self-centered.

It takes a bit to get me annoyed or in this case pissed off.
I have just about had enough of you and your insulting crap.
I have seen a lot of Suzanne roses posts and have replied to a couple over that time because I value her knowledge and help and the fact that she and most others here have this groups core values at heart.
Sorry but I can honestly say that I don't recall your name or any post that has been the least bit interesting.
You need help in anger management so in that case I like everyone else and the people you try to belittle (hopefully) will not post any further comments.
 
What happened to you saying end of conversation. You just keep going on and on. You must have some great batteries in you
The more you say the more you show your comprehension deficit. I was quoting LBs comment! You really should have gone to school.

I don’t care how “pissed off” you are crispy bacon/pork chop! I made a comment based on what I have observed on many posts - and I am entitled to do so. You sound somewhat evangelical. I couldn’t care less whether you find my responses interesting or not - and yet you are reading them and responding?
most others here have this groups core values at heart” - and what are these “core values” pray tell?
I was calling out what I see and have seen on many occasions in this cooking section (or CWA type self appointed hierarchy)- call it conflict of interest/favouritism/endorsement/contrived (usually due to financial/personal gain). I was attacked with personal comments like seagulls on a sick prawn by a flock of “true believers”) My opinion is that it is rude to highjack someone’s post. How about just let people have their cooking posts without the professional jealousy or the need to try to upstage. I don’t care to listen to your pious comments either!

Lay off , you are so rude now your attacking another person .

As I said I replied to a question that asked for anyone's help.

These post are for everyone to reply how they want.

You are so RUDE your reply to Chris P Bacon again so rude.

You are so judgemental and I agree you need anger management
