Topping:

• 1/4 c. melted butter

• 1 t. dried parsley

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add olive oil, salt and flour and knead until smooth and elastic. Let rest for 10 min. Shape into breadsticks and place on greased baking sheet. Combine toppings and brush on breadsticks. Let rise 10 min. Bake at 350 for 15-20 min, until golden brown.

This recipe is from my BYU cooking class’s textbook. These breadsticks are great for when you don’t want to wait 2 hours for dough to rise- they can be done in less than an hour. You can substitute shredded cheddar or mozzarella for the parmesan if you want to change it up.
