FRUITY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Separate dough into 12 breadsticks. Cut in half to make 24 short breadsticks. Bake breadsticks as directed on can, brushing dough with cinnamon sugar before baking.
• While breadsticks are still warm, unroll and remove paper from Betty Crocker Fruit by the Foot. Fold in half lengthwise. Cut into 4 lengths for 4 breadsticks; wrap diagonally around breadsticks.

QUICK SOFT BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Make dough using your favorite method- bread machine, mixer or by hand.
• Roll out into a 10x12 inch rectangle.
• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide.
• Give each strip a twist and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• Let rise for at least 20 minutes or more if you have time.
• Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.
• Brush with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.

SUPER FLUFFY BREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Dissolve sugar and yeast in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
• Combine flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix 2 tablespoons butter into flour mixture until incorporated. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and knead dough using the dough hook attachment until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Place dough in a container and cover container with a towel or plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide dough into 2-ounce portions and roll into 7-inch long sticks. Arrange sticks on the prepared baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and let stand until dough doubles in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until breadsticks are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush each breadstick using 2 tablespoons melted butter; top with garlic salt.

ALMOST-FAMOUS BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a mixer; sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, butter, sugar, fine salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, 5 minutes.
• Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft, 3 minutes. Roll into a 2-foot-long log; cut into 16 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7-inch-long breadstick; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the flavored salt.

EASY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette in half crossways, and cut away the very last bit of the heel ends. Take each baguette half and slice in half lengthwise (as if you were going to make a sandwich). You should now have 4 equal pieces of baguette. Cut each quarter lengthwise into 3 strips, yielding 12 breadsticks. Brush with the olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the paprika, salt, and pepper. Bake until golden, about 7 minutes. Serve standing upright in a vase or large jar.

BASIC BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together water and yeast and let stand while combining remaining dough ingredients.
• Pulse together flour and salt 2 or 3 times to combine. Add oil, butter, or lard and pulse until combined well, 10 to 20 times. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and pulse until dough forms a ball, about 10 times. Let dough rest in processor 5 minutes. Process dough continuously 10 seconds. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball.
• In bowl combine flour and salt and mix on low speed until combined. Add oil, butter, or lard and beat until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes, stopping to scrape bowl and paddle as necessary. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and beat on low speed until dough forms a ball, about 5 minutes. Let dough rest 5 minutes and beat on low speed 1 minute. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball.
• In a large bowl stir together flour and salt. Add oil, butter, or lard and blend with fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add yeast mixture, scraping all of it from bowl with a rubber spatula, and stir until a rough dough forms. On a lightly floured surface knead dough just until it forms a smooth ball, about 5 minutes.
• Put dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat, and let rise, covered tightly with plastic wrap, at room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• On lightly surface knead dough lightly to deflate and form into a ball. Grease bowl again and return dough to bowl, turning to coat. Chill dough, covered tightly with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. and lightly dust 3 jelly-roll pans or large baking sheets with cornmeal.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, making sure dough emerges from bowl in one piece and doesn't fold. (Folded dough becomes too elastic and is difficult to form into breadsticks.) Pat dough into a 9-inch square and cut in half to form 2 rectangles. Cut each rectangle crosswise into 4 1/2- by 1/2-inch strips for a total of 36 pieces and cover with plastic wrap or kitchen towel to keep them from forming skin.
• Roll and stretch each piece of dough with palms of hands to form a narrow stick 12 to 15 inches long. (If dough resists, let pieces rest, covered, 5 minutes, and they will roll and stretch easily.) Arrange breadsticks as formed on pans about 1/2 inch apart and let rest 10 minutes. Bake 2 pans of breadsticks in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching their positions halfway through baking, until breadsticks are firm, crisp, and pale golden, 20 to 30 minutes. (Third pan of breadsticks may be kept at room temperature while first 2 pans bake.) Transfer breadsticks to racks and cool. Bake remaining pan of breadsticks in middle of oven and cool. Breadsticks may be kept, loosely covered with plastic wrap or in a paper bag, at room temperature up to 1 week. If they absorb humidity and soften, recrisp in a preheated 325°F. oven about 5 minutes.
