Garlic Breadsticks


1 1/8 cups water (70 to 80 degrees F)
2 teaspoons yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine, melted
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh basil
3 cups bread flour

Mix the water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Add everything else, except the flour. Mix well. Add flour and then let knead for about 10 minutes.

Dump dough onto counter and divide into 20 portions. Roll into 9" breadsticks and place on greased cookie sheets. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 40-60 minutes, depending on the temperature of your house. Bake at 350 for 18-22 minutes. (I actually had them burn a little bit at 18 minutes so you might check them at 16 minutes.) Take out of oven and place on cooling racks. Brush with butter when still warm.
