Breadsticks



1 1/3 cups warm water
2 ¼ tsp. dry active yeast
1 TBSP sugar

1 TBSP salt
2 TBSP olive oil
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour

Combine warm water, yeast and sugar and let stand 5 minutes. Add salt, olive oil and water. Knead for about 10 minutes until dough becomes smooth and elastic. Transfer dough to a bowl lightly coated with oil. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 ½ hours).

Shape into breadsticks, then top with melted butter and mozzarella cheese. Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes.

I love to dip these in a marinara sauce! The breadsticks or dough freezes well. Dough can also be used for pizza's. Recipe courtesy of The Joy of Cooking.
