Breadsticks or Pizza Dough

Bread Stick and Pizza Dough
1 1/2 c. hot water

1 Tbs. yeast

2 Tbs. sugar

1 tsp. salt

3 1/2 c. flour

Add water to mixer and sprinkle yeast and sugar over top.  Add in the salt and 2 cups of the flour.  Mix until smooth.  Add remainder 1 1/2 c. flour.  Knead 5-10 minutes.  Roll into a rectangle about 1/2" thick.  Cut into strips about 1" wide.  Poor melted butter onto a cookie sheet.  Dip each strip in the melted butter, bring the two ends together, and twist to make a pretty breadstick.  Place somewhat close together on cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.  The dry powder Parmesan works fine, though if you ever get the chance real parmesan is even better.  My favorite garlic salt is Lawry's that has parsley mixed with it, but any will do.

Let rise for a minimum of 15 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Pizza Dough:

Roll out and place the toppings on the dough.  Pierce a few times with a fork to prevent large bubbles. Cook at 400 about 25 minutes or until the crust is brown.

These are soooooo good!  Make as directed above only sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sugar.  Serve with your favorite frosting/glaze.  Or try the one below:
