Parmesan Bread Sticks

Ingredients:

• 1 TBS. active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water, divided
• 1 TBS. honey
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 to 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• garlic salt

In a large mixing bowl, soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add honey and salt. Add remaining 1 cup water to yeast mixture; stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. On a floured board, roll dough out into a rectangle 1 inch thick; using a sharp knife, cut into 12 to 15 bread sticks. Place sticks about 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and garlic salt. Let rise unil double in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes (my oven took only 13min.), depending on the thickness of the bread sticks.

Note: for crisper bread sticks, roll dough out thinner. Sticks may also be twisted before letting dough rise.
