MRS. HATMAN MAKES BREADSTICKS

1 cp water

1 T butter

1T sugar

1t salt

3 cps bread flour

3 T non fat dry milk

1 1/2 t yeast

This recipe is for a bread machine from the Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna Rathmell German. "Far better than the ones you buy at the store. Bake enough to keep on hand. Each of the different toppings changes the flavor of the sticks--try them all."

"Cut dough into small pieces and roll them into ropes. Cover and let rose 20 minutes. Brush

each one with a mixture of 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of water. sprinkle on course salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, anise or other desired topping. Bake at 400 deg. for 15 minutes or

until golden brown.

the shorter the baking time, the softer they are;the longer, the crunchier. " ( Put cornmeal on baking sheet to keep the stick from sticking)

The Hatman says "These are wonderful fresh out of the oven slathered with butter. Try dipping them in olive oil mixed with garlic (add basil if desired). DELICIOUS!"

Limerick
There was an Old Man of Vienna,
Who lived upon Tincture of Senna;
When that did not agree,
He took Camomile Tea,
That nasty Old Man of Vienna.

With Love and Kindness,
