1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T yeast
3 T brown sugar
1 t salt
3 1/2-4 cups flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
Desired topping (Cinnamon sugar or Parmesan cheese & garlic salt)
(This is my favorite seasoning: https://ourbestbites.com/garlic-bread-seasoning/ )
Mix water, yeast, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in and then knead in the flour, one cup at a time. Let dough rest for 5 minutes. Coat a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet) with half of the melted butter. Place dough in the centre of the pan. Let rest for about 5 minutes, then spread the dough flat to cover the whole sheet (using your hands instead of a rolling pin. Just gently push with your fingers and fist. If it won't stay when you push it, let it rest a couple minutes more).
Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 3 strips lengthwise and about 12 strips the other way. Spread remaining butter on top of the breadsticks. Sprinkle with desired toppings. Place pan in 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes to let them rise, then increase heat to 350 and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
(Picture from and method based on this recipe. She has great pictures if my instructions don't make sense! I accidentally cut my dough before adding toppings the last time I made them and liked how I didn't have to re-cut the sticks after baking, since the butter that dripped down made them not stick to each other as much. You can do it either way.)
