Herbed Breadsticks

Directions

Combine 1½ cups flour, yeast, sugar, basil, oregano, and salt in a large bowl.

Add water and oil; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth.

Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, and enough flour to make a stiff dough.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 1 minute).

Divide dough into fourths; shape each into a ball. Cut each ball into 10 pieces.

Shape each piece into an 8-inch rope. (Cover remaining dough while working to prevent drying.)

Dip rope in butter, and roll in Parmesan cheese. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.

Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 50 minutes. (Dough will not double in bulk.)

Bake at 400℉ (200℃) for 12 to 15 minutes.
