Bread Sticks

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons canola or EVOO
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
Italian Seasoning
egg wash (for browning)
parmisean or regiano cheese (topping)

Preheat oven to 375 F

Proof yeast for 10 minutes by placing the water in a ceramic or plastic cup along with the yeast, oil, and sugar.

While yeast is proofing, combine dry ingredients, flour, salt, Italian seasoning  by lightly mixing.

Once yeast has proofed, mix liquid with dry ingredients by hand until dough ball forms (for best results lightly oil your hands before mixing)

roll dough into a ball and set aside in a bowl loosely covered by plastic wrap for 10 minutes or until doubled in size then pound out, seperate into 8 equal sections of dough, like playdough, create long dough sticks out of each of the sections, place on counter, allow to rise 10 minutes, before brushing egg wash on top of breadsticks. Bake for 15-18 minutes, then sprinkle cheese over top.
