A Time to Live and a Thyme for Murder! (Outer Banks Baker Mystery Series Book 3) (14 page)

Kill Devil Delicacies’ Bread Sticks

Ingredients:

4 Cups Flour

2 ¼ Cups Water

2 tsp Salt

¼ tsp Dry Active Yeast

Melted butter for dipping bread stick dough prior to baking

Instructions:

Mix flour, yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Then add water and mix again thoroughly.  Now cover and allow dough to rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature.

Note:  If you don’t have 12-18 hours to allow the dough to rest, you may increase the amount of yeast to 1 tsp and only wait 6 hours before baking the dough.  However, the longer you wait, the more sourdough-like the bread will be.

Preheat oven to 450ºF. On floured surface, roll out dough until ½ inch in thickness.  Then with a pizza dough slicer, cut dough in 1 inch strips.  Take each strip of dough and dip it into the melted butter, then lay on cooking surface, ideally a baking stone, along with other breadsticks. Sprinkle with desired topping and bake for 7-10 minutes.

To add a little flare, you might consider twisting the butter dipped dough a few times before placing it on the cooking surface.  Want to get really fancy?  Roll in your favorite grated cheese before twisting the bread to make cheesy bread sticks!.

Suggested Toppings:

• Italian Herbs and Parmesan Cheese
  
• Garlic Powder and Parmesan Cheese
  
• Cinnamon Sugar
  
• Chili Powder and Parmesan
