Breadsticks
a la Julie Brown

1. Dissolve 1 T yeast, 2 T sugar in 1 1/2 cups warm water. Whisk and let stand 5 minutes
2. Add 3 cups flour and 1/2 t salt
3. Mix and knead for 5-6 minutes. It is really soft and sticky!
4. Let rest for 10 minutes. (you can skip this step if in a hurry, it's just more dense)
5. Melt 1/2 cube of butter and pour onto 1/2 of a cookie sheet.
6. Using butter from the pan, dip your hands in it so the stick, sticky dough doesn't stick to your hands. Break bread into golf ball sized pieces and form into sticks. They don't stay wonderful well because the dough is so soft.
7. Lay them out in the pan, 4 columns in 2 rows. You can squish them together, btu keep them on the half sheet or they will spread out too much and not be fat enough.
8. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese.
9. Let rise for 15-20 minutes.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until they are as brown as you would like them to be.
