Twisted Breadsticks

 Ingredients List

  • 2 pkgs. yeast
  • 2 c. warm water
  • 4 T. sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 c. milk, scalded and cooled
  • 4 t. salt
  • 5 T. shortening
  • 12 c. flour

 Directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, egg, milk, salt, shortening and half of the flour. Mix well. Add enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle. Knead 10 minutes (if using bread mixer, add only enough flour to clean the sides of the mixing bowl. Mix on high 6 minutes).

Let rise until double. Punch down and shape into the twisted breadsticks as shown.

Twisting breadstickAfter rolling the dough into a 12-14 inch rope, with your left hand, push the dough away from you while your right hand pulls the dough toward you. This twists the rope of dough. Then, when you pick it up and put the two ends together, the rope will twist itself!

Place breadsticks onto a silicon baking mat, cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise until double.

Bake at 425° for 12-14 minutes or until golden.

After they come out of the oven and are still hot, I like to brush mine with melted butter, garlic and herbs.

These breadsticks are spectacular!
