Olive Garden breadsticks

Ingredients:

• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 1 egg
• 3 and 1/4 cups white flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

topping:

• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• garlic salt and Italian
•  seasoning to taste

Step:

1. Makes 16 breadsticks. 
2. Combine all ingredients (except for topping ingredients) in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix using  the dough hook until combined on low. 
3. Continue mixing about 5 minutes, adding just a little more flour if needed. Dough will be  soft and slightly sticky; it won’t completely pull away from side of bowl. Turn dough out onto a flouted surface and knead two or three times, forming a ball. 
4. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise 1 to 1.5 hours, until nearly double in size. 
5. On flouted surface, roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle. 
6. Use pizza cutter to slice into 16 pieces. Pinch the long sides of each piece together to form a breadstick shape. 
7. Place sticks pinched side down on a greased cookie sheet, cover with towel, and let rise about 30 minutes. 
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. 
9. Brush with butter and sprinkle with  seasonings.
