directions

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine water, yogurt and butter in a 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 120° to 130°F (2 to 4 minutes). (Butter may not melt completely). Add warm yogurt mixture and vinegar to flour mixture. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes). Invert large bowl over dough; let rise in warm place until almost double in size (30 to 60 minutes).
  • Divide dough in half; roll each half into 10X8-inch rectangle. Cut each into 8(1-inch wide) strips. Stretch each strip to about 12-inches long. Fold strip in half; twist several times. Pinch ends to seal. Place onto greased baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic food wrap; let rise in warm place until double in size (15 to 20 minutes).
  • Heat oven to 375°F Brush breadsticks with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with desired topping. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cool.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
