Bread Sticks

Oven 400º

3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons honey or sugar
2 tablespoons malted milk powder
8 cups flour
beaten egg
Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds

Soften yeast in ½ cup warm water. Set aside. Combine remaining water, salt, honey, malted milk powder and 2 cups flour mixing until smooth. Add yeast mixture stirring well. Stir in remaining flour and knead until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until double. Punch down and divide dough in half. Roll out each half to 1/4” thickness. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or sesame seeds. (I use garlic bread sprinkle and Parmesan cheese.) Cut into 1” by 6” strips and place on greased cookie sheets. Let rise 45 to 60 minutes. Bake at 400º for 10 minutes.
