It's the last day of the school holidays and I've been dying to try this cheesy breadstick recipe that I found on this blog site a while ago. I have never made bread before, I have made damper, scones, scone dough for pizza bases, but never bread with yeast. First time lucky. It took a little while for the dough to rise, it's a bit chilly in our house, so I helped it by sitting it on the open oven door with the oven on. Sam & Ethan helped me to twist the dough and sprinkle on the cheese.
When they were baked we went outside to the sunny but cold and windy back yard and had a picnic. I think we found a winner recipe and had a lovely picnic. The boys couldn't get enough of them and we fought over the last bread stick. Just delicious!
Cheesy Breadsticks
7g sachet dried yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbs sugar
3 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
150g butter, melted
sea salt
fresh grated parmesan cheese
Mix yeast, warm water and sugar together in a small bowl and leave to stand for 10 minutes - should go frothy.
Place flour and salt into a large bowl. Mix water mixture into flour mixture and knead on a floured board until soft and smooth. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover and leave in a warm spot until doubled in size.
Brush a large baking tray (with sides) generously with some of the melted butter.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly.
Cut off small chunks of dough and roll out thinly into a long, skinny rectangle.
Cut into 1" strips, fold in half, stretching slightly and twist into breadstick. Place in pan.
Let twists sit close to each other. Leave to rise and double in size.
Brush tops of breadsticks generously with remaining melted butter.
Sprinkle with salt and parmesan cheese.
Bake in moderate oven until lightly browned, about 20 - 30 minutes.

I love hot bread too. And I liked reading about your rural adventures and all the car troubles - made me crack up, you're a good storyteller.
