Preparation Time: 0:30
Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, 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.
