Bread Machine Bread Sticks

Wow. These bread sticks are amazing! Even Andy loves them, and he doesn't love much of what I cook, so that's really saying something. His exact words were, "People would pay money to eat these." I think that is quite a compliment!

This recipe is from this awesome blog: http://www.memoriesoncloverlane.com/

Here's the recipe:

1 cup warm water
1/4 cup oil
3 cups of bread flour
1 tsp. salt
3 TBS brown sugar
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

I put these in my bread machine. I have a Breadman Ultimate, so I put liquids in first, then dry ingredients, then the yeast last. I use the pizza dough cycle which takes 55 minutes.

Once the dough cycle is finished, I roll the dough onto a lightly greased half sheet baking sheet.
Using a pizza cutter, I cut the bread sticks into 24 pieces.
Let rise for about an hour.

Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.

When breadsticks come out of oven, I drizzle this mixture on top:
3 TBS melted butter
1/4 tsp garlic salt (make it a generous 1/4 tsp.)

Here's what was left yesterday after dinner. I'm pretty sure we could have eaten the whole batch, but we exercised some self control and saved half of them for later.
