The twisted bread sticks were a huge hit. J, of course, didn't want one until they came to the table. All 3 cleaned the stick! They looked so fun I decided I better be finding the recipe for this one and sure enough we did it! I found this recipe this afternoon and they taste so similar to the ones they serve at Pizza Factory..you'll love them just as much as we did!Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 1/2 c. warm (105-115 degrees) water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. yeast
1/2 tsp. salt
3-4 1/2 c. flour
In a large bowl (the bowl of your mixer, if you have one), combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes or until yeast is bubbly. Add salt and stir.
Add 1 1/2 c. flour and mix well. Gradually add more flour (usually between 3-4 cups, depending on your elevation and your humidity) until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl and it barely sticks to your finger. Spray a glass or metal bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl.
Cover and allow to rise for 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.
Remove from bowl and place on a lightly-floured surface. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll into a rectangle and cut into 12 strips with a pizza cutter.
Roll out each piece of dough into a snake and then drape over your forefinger and twist the dough. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining 11 pieces of dough. Try to space them evenly, but it's okay if they're close.
Cover pan and allow dough to rise for another 30 minutes.
When there's about 15 minutes to go, preheat your oven to 425. When done rising, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Rub some butter on top of the bread sticks (just put a Ziploc bag on your hand, grab some softened butter, and have at it) and sprinkle with powdery Parmesan cheese in a can and garlic salt. Or you could sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar..

Well, YUM-Oh my! They sound and LOOK wonderful! What beautiful children... I'd lick the plate most of the times too, if I thought I could get away with it..what's cute as a kid can sometimes be misunderstood as an adult, huh?!

What darling children. Your little one looks like he's having a ball with the pasta.
Not long ago I saw the bread on a stick technique on the food network...they used cinnamon bread dough and deep fried it. The children appear to be enjoying theirs...Your recipe sounds inviting...I think I might give making it a try. I adore cinnamon...
