Super easy breadsticks

 

The other night I was making broccoli cheddar soup and realized that we were out of bread to make garlic toast.  The baby was miraculously sleeping so I found this recipe and made them very quickly.  My girls loved them!  Click HERE for the original recipe.  I changed it only slightly:

Ingredients

• 1 C warm water 
• 3 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp coconut sugar (or your choice of sweetener)
• 1/4 C coconut oil (or your choice of oil)
• 3 C all purpose flour
• Parmesan, garlic salt, or whatever toppings you desire

Before baking

• 1/4 C butter melted

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In the mixer, add the water and then yeast. Let it sit and "proof" about 5-8 minutes.. you should see it foam up on the top if you have the yeast at the right temperature.
• Add the brown sugar, salt, oil, and flour - and mix well with the hook attachment, 3-4 minutes.
• Once mixed it should become very elastic
• Prepare 2 baking sheets - I used parchment paper because I like to save on dishes and it never sticks!
• Lightly oil your hands with olive oil, and pull the dough from the mixing bowl. Form into a ball and knead lightly for 1-2 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
• Lay the ball of dough on the bigger cookie sheet and roll into a 10x12 rectangle.
• Cut into strips with a pizza cutter or knife
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush each stick with melted butter and add any additional seasonings before they bake. (I used parmesan on some and garlic salt on the others.)
• Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until light brown
