Bread Sticks

In your stand-mixer or bread machine, mix together:
1 1/3 cups of water
4 tsp soft butter
4 cups of flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast

Then, roll it out into a log and divide it into 16 pieces. Roll these pieces into cigar-shaped sticks of bread. Arrange on a baking sheet.

Cover, and let rise for 45 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 400*F. Use your brush to butter each stick, saving some butter for later. Sprinkle with kosher salt.

Cook for 15 minutes. Remove, then brush twice more and add another sprinkling of kosher salt and a light sprinkle of garlic powder
