Breadsticks, Cheese Bread and Pizza Crust

Lesli Dustin

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T. yeast
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
3 1/2 cups flour (I use 2 cups white flour, 1/2 cup gluten flour, and 1 cup whole wheat flour)

Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Combine remaining ingredients into yeast mixture and knead for 6-8 minutes. Let rise until doubled.

FOR BREADSTICKS:
Melt 1/2 stick butter on a large cookie sheet. Roll dough out about 1/2 inch thick and cut into strips. Roll in butter and arrange on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Let rise until doubled. Bake at 375 for 10-15 minutes.

FOR CHEESE BREAD:
Sprinkle countertop with parmesan cheese. Roll dough out into a circle on the parmesan cheese. Place on a greased pizza pan. Sprinkle with garlic salt and mozzarella cheese. Let rise
until doubled. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Slice into wedges.

FOR PIZZA:
Roll dough out on a surface sprinkled with cornmeal. Place on pizza pan and top according to your family's tastes. Let rise until crust is a little puffy. Place in cold oven on the bottom rack. Turn oven on to 500 degrees and set the timer for 20 minutes, checking after 15 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
