Preparation Time: 0:30
Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, basil, oregano, and
salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil; beat at medium
speed of an electric mixer 3 to 4 minutes or until smooth.
Stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, and enough flour to
make a stiff dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured
surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 1
minute). Divide dough into fourths; shape each into a ball.
Cut each ball into 10 pieces.

Shape each piece into an 8-inch rope. (Cover remaining
dough while working to prevent drying.) Dip rope in
butter, and roll in Parmesan cheese. Place 2 inches apart
on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm
place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 50 minutes. (Dough
will not double in bulk.) Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15
minutes or until lightly browned. Yield: 40 breadsticks.
