Get Your Man Bread Sticks



  • 1-½ cup Warm Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Instant Yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 3-½ cups Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter for melting in the pan and more to put on top.
  • Garlic Powder
  • Garlic Salt

Mix all ingredients (except melted butter) in a large bowl or electric mixer and knead for three minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread melted butter onto 2 cookie sheets. Roll out the breadstick dough about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Twist slightly if desired and place about 1/2-inch apart on the baking sheets.  Mix garlic powder with melted butter and brush over bread sticks. You can also sprinkle with basil, thyme, rosemary, or parmesan cheese. Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes.

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until golden brown. Brush more butter on top and sprinkle with garlic salt. So good!
 I got this recipe from my mother-in-law and even though I don't bake much, it's hard to mess these up. I heard somebody call them get-your-man bread sticks once because if you made them for a guy you liked, he would fall for you. I'm still working on the twisting part, but even when they're ugly they're still tasty. They're good the next day if you warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds, but hot and fresh out of the oven is best!
