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.

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.

LATE-NIGHT BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside. Divide dough into 16 pieces; roll each into a 6-in. rope. Dip ropes in butter, then roll in cheese mixture. , Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

UNLEAVENED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together.
• Roll dough to half inch thickness. Cut into finger-width slices. Cut slices in half (roughly 4" length).
• Roll each 'fingerling' of dough in parmesan cheese, lengthening the dough as you go so that the final product is approximately 6" long and 3/4" thick. (Start rolling with your fingers together and spread your fingers wide as you roll).
• Bake on cookie sheet in preheated 350F oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
• Note: Can use all white or whole-wheat flour depending on your preference.

UNLEAVENED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Measure and mix flour and wheatgerm.
• Measure and add three liquids.
• Stir throughly till mixture comes away from sides of the bowl.
• Form into two balls. You can hold, refrigerate, or freeze the dough for later.
• Flatten balls on a cookie sheet or baking pan.
• Stone or non-stick surfaces work well. If not "unstick"--sprinkle the baking surface with cornmeal or line it with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Let cool several minutes--bread will be very hot.

UNLEAVENED HERBED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Mix all dry ingredients until well blended.
• Add in wet ingredients and mix together, just enough to moisten. This shouldn't require much kneading. Allow to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature (cover dough while resting).
• Pinch off balls approx 2" in diameter and roll to smooth. When all balls are formed, roll each one into a 5" circle approximately the thickness of of a pie crust.
• Bake each round on a pizza tray on lowest rack in oven for about 3 minutes. They should bubble up a bit and be slightly browned. Don't over bake.
• Keep in refrigerator or freeze in small batches as they have a fairly short shelf life due to their deliciousness and lack of leavening and preservatives.
