- This recipe is adapted from The
American Woman's Cookbook, edited and revised by Ruth Berolzheimer, 1967.
It makes a lot of bread sticks if they are rolled very thin.
-
- 1 Tbs. yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup milk
- 4 Tbs. oil (or shortening)
- 1 1/2 Tbs. sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 egg white
- 3 1/2 cups flour
-
- Soften yeast in water for 10 minutes.
Mix milk, oil, sugar and salt and yeast.
Add egg white, then flour.
Knead until soft and smooth.
Roll out thin ropes and cut to length.
I usually make sticks 1/4" wide or less, and 6-8"
long. Place on greased
cookie sheet about 1" apart and let rise until at least double in
size. Set oven at 400°,
then reduce the heat to 325°
for baking. Cook
until golden brown, about 8 minutes. I roll a batch at a time and leave the rest of the dough in a
covered bowl. The sticks
can be cooked in a steady 350 oven,
but they won't be quite as crispy.
