Breadsticks

This is Mom's breadstick recipe which I LOVE as does everyone else in my family...there are rarely any leftovers! They are quick and easy to make--very little rise time which is always nice when you're short on time. This recipe makes one cookie sheet full.

1 1/2 c warm water
1 T yeast
2 1/4 T sugar
1 t salt
3-3 1/2 c flour (again, I have made these with half whole wheat and they were great!)
1/2 c melted butter

Put yeast in warm water and let stand for about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour the melted butter on a cookie sheet and spread around. Roll out dough in a rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips. Put strips on the cookie sheet and roll them in the butter. Let rise 10-15 minutes. Bake 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Note: For me, it's quicker to brush the pan with butter, then brush the breadsticks with butter instead of rolling each breadstick to coat them.
