Deirdra's Breadsticks

I had these for the first time at a ward RS Christmas party.  They are wonderful.  When I heard that they took only an hour to have on the table, I knew I had to have the recipe.  My family loves them!

Ingredients:

 1 tbsp yeast

1 1/2 cups water

2 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

3 1/2 - 4 cups flour (use your judgment)

3/4 - 1 stick butter (6 - 8 tbsp)

Dissolve yeast in water, then add sugar, salt and flour and knead for 3 minutes in the mixer.  Let rest for 10-15 minutes.  Melt butter and pour into sheet pan.  Roll dough out on a well-floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut in to about 12 strips crosswise, then cut in half lengthwise.  I use a pizza cutter to cut the dough.  Take each strip, dip one side of dough in melted butter in sheet pan then flip it over and dip other side.  I twist mine as well after I dip them.  Arrange them in pan.  The dough will fill up the pan so leave space in between.  Sprinkle the breadsticks with garlic salt or whatever other seasoning you would like.  Let rise until fluffy and fat (about 35-40 minutes in a nice warm place, mine is usually a partially warmed oven).  Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until just barely golden brown.  Let cool a couple minutes, then remove them from a pan onto a cooling rack or a platter with a dishtowel (they will get soggy if you leave them in the pan or just put them on a plate without a towel.)  Serve asap.  Enjoy!
