I get a lot of requests for this one- just watch out for the kids (husband) breaking into a breadstick sword fight!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a small bowl add:
1 Tb. yeast
1/8 tsp. sugar
1 cup very warm water - not too hot or you'll kill the yeast :(
Let this sit and get all nice and foamy...
In a medium bowl whisk together:
2 cups flour
2 Tb. sugar
1 tsp. salt
Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until JUST combined. It will be kind of goopy looking. Let this sit in bowl covered with a towel for 10 to 20 minutes. I usually do 15 min. but it will work with whatever time you've got! Gotta love that!
Generously flour the area of the counter you'll be working on. Scrape dough onto counter, sprinkle with flour and knead dough until it gets to the right consistency - add more flour if too sticky. You want the dough to be soft and pliable. Roll dough into rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
With a pizza cutter, cut into 3/4" strips. Twist the strips as you lay them on a greased cookie sheet. Brush each stick with melted butter, and sprinkle with garlic salt (I like Lawry's) -if you want you can also sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan.
Let them rise until double their size, about 20 minutes. Bake for 10 minutes, then turn on broiler and broil for 2 minutes. Watch them closely or they'll be toast!
Now here's the secret that makes them so yummy...more butter baby!! Brush each stick again with melted butter and get ready to defend yourself!

Jody,
My neighbor came over today to ask for a breadstick recipe that I made a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked that she asked for it because I didn't think they were that good. I told her about your site and that I had recently seen your post for these. I hadn't tried them but I promised her that they would be delicious! She brought me a sample after she finished and YUMMO!!! I loved them. Too bad my little guy is allergic to milk right now. Hopefully he'll grow out of it soon because those buttery breadsticks were mouthwatering. Thanks so much for sharing!
