These take some time, but are quite easy to make. I made these to go with our soup we had last night.
Bread sticks
1 1/2 cups milk
1/8 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 Tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons Oil
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
3 cups flour, plus
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon of the honey. Add milk, the rest of the honey, salt and oil and stir till mixed well. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, and mix well. Add rest of the flour and any extra you need so you can handle the dough with your hands. Remove dough from bowl, and knead on a floured surface, adding flour as needed and knead for about 10 minutes or till dough is springy, smooth and easy to handle. Place dough in a greased(buttered or oiled) bowl, smooth side up, covered and placed in a warm place till doubled in size.
Once dough has doubled, remove from bowl and place on a floured surface. Roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough (with a knife, or scissors) into 25 pieces, as equal as you can get them. Roll each peace with floured hands, into oblong sticks and place on prepared pans. Brush with melted butter, or oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, or any other toppings you like. Let rise till double in size and bake at 400 degrees until brown and crisp(about 10-14) minutes. Makes 25 bread sticks.
This dough can me made into hamburger buns or hot dog buns as well.
