Yeast Bread Happiness = Breadsticks

Well the 9th grade foods and nutrition 1 class were finally able to make breadsticks. We have been talking about quick and yeast breads, and this was our first lab in the unit. The students made either garlic or cinnamon sugar breadsticks with a frosting drizzle. This lab ended up right in the middle of spirit week, so many of the students were dressed up in the lab. It was great to see so many people from different decades cooking! Enjoy the recipe below :)

Breadsticks

1 T yeast
1 C warm water
1/4 C sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1/8 C oil
2 1/2 - 3 C flour

1. Dissolve the yeast in the 1 C of warm water and let rise. (A pinch of sugar will help)
2. Mix yeast, water, sugar, salt, egg, and oil together.
3. Add flour mixing in one cup at a time.
4. Knead dough for a couple of minutes, until texture is consistent and firm.
5. Place dough in greased gallon sized ziploc bag, removing as much air as possible. Place in the fridge over night to rise.

6. Open bag and punch to release air.
7. Roll on floured counter top with floured rolling pin.
8. Spread melted butter on dough and sprinkle with seasoning of choice. We used either garlic salt spread, or a cinnamon sugar mixture.
9. With a pizza cutter, cut into strips and place on greased baking sheet.
10. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
