Fast and Easy Breadsticks

I love carbs. I get sucked in quickly when I see the word bread. Carbs are just my comfort food. And my eat-all-the-time food. When I saw the recipe for these breadsticks I knew I had to try them, not only because they were carbs, but because the had the phrase "fast and easy" with it. That means to me: "I can eat it sooner".

3 tbsp yeast
2 ¼ cup water
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
4- 5 ½ cups flour


Dissolve and activate yeast in warm water. Mix ingredients together. Let rise until double in bulk; about 15 min. Roll dough out onto slightly floured surface in an oblong shape ¾ inches thick. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough into strips lengthwise and then once down the middle width-wise. Melt 1 cube butter on cookie sheet. Dip a strip of dough and fold in half while twisting it around your finger, repeating with all dough until your pan is full. Sprinkle breadsticks with garlic powder and salt.
Let rise for 20-30 min. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 min.
