Soft Breadsticks

Here's a recipe I adapted for very yummy breadsticks! Great to go with pasta!

Ingredients:
- 1 Cup + 2 TB Warm Water
- 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 2 TB Olive Oil
- 2 TB Sugar
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning (Optional)
- 3 Cups flour
- 1 tsp Olive oil 
- 1 tsp Butter
- 2 tsp Garlic Salt

Instructions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Stir in 2 TB oil, sugar, salt, and Italian Seasoning (if using) along with one cup of the flour. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 15 minutes. (It should rise a bit and get bubbly.)
2. Stir in the remaining 2 cups of flour. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-10 minutes.
3. Pour 1 tsp of olive oil in a large bowl. Turn your dough in the bowl to coat it with the oil. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
4. Divide dough into about 20 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1 inch diameter rope. (The dough is pretty elastic so it may spring back a bit after you form your rope. This is fine.) Lay on a greased baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 28-30 minutes. Brush with the butter while warm and sprinkle the top with garlic salt.
