Marybeth's Easy Breadsticks

Although this isn't Marybeth's recipe, she perfected it.

1-1/2 cups warm water
1 T yeast
2 T sugar
1/2 t. salt
3 c. flour
1/3 cube melted butter

Dissolve yeast and sugar in water and let proof.  Add flour and salt gradually, mixing as you add. Once dough is formed, let sit for 10 min. Meanwhile, melt butter and sprinkle cornmeal in the bottom of two 8-inch. Split dough, forming two balls. Place the dough in each pan and using hands, flatten dough into a circle. Using a brush, brush on remaining butter. Top with garlic salt, salad seasoning, Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan. Use a pizza cutter, cut breadsticks in even pieces. Let rise 15-20 min or until fluffy. Bake 375 for 12-18 min or until light brown in color.
These can be frozen, but I recommend adding toppings once you are ready to cook.

I have made some great changes to the recipe. I also top them with Salad Seasoning..it adds great color and taste. I use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the pan with butter (I only use 2 tbsp total and think that is plenty) and then sprinkle cornmeal in the bottom, before adding the dough. Quite delish!!
