Breadsticks

This is my perfected recipe for breadsticks.  I was inspired from some random cookbook back when I was a freshman in college, but I have no idea what it was called, so now--it's mine!

BREADSTICKS

3 C hot water
1/4 C sugar
2 Tbsp (1 packet) yeast

Combine together.  Let dissolve.  Add:

6 C flour
1 tsp salt

Mix for 3 minutes until well combined.  Let dough rest for 10 minutes.

Roll out dough on floured surface (it's easier to work with 1/2 at a time).  Cut in 1" strips; dough should be about 1/2" thick.  Dip each piece in melted butter or margarine and place on a baking sheet.  I like to twist them so they look good.  Sprinkle liberally with garlic (I prefer Garlic Bread Sprinkle), oregano and parmesan.  Also sprinkle lightly with paprika, if desired.

Let rise uncovered 15-20 minutes.

Bake @ 375 F (180 C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
