Divine Breadsticks

Divine Breadsticks



These really are divine.  I made them a lot when I lived with my sister in Hawaii, oooh they are delightfully delicious!!


Divine Breadsticks

My Kitchen Cafe



1 ½ cup warm water

1 tablespoon yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

3 ½ cups flour

½ teaspoon salt

Butter for the pan



Mix all ingredients (except butter) and knead for three minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt desired amount of butter on baking pan (the original recipe called for 1 entire stick of butter - that was way too much for my taste - I use a couple tablespoons). Roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick and cut into strips. Place in butter and put close together.

Sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan cheese. Cover and let rise 30 minutes. Bake 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

1 3/4 c flour
2 c instant oatmeal
1 c coconut
1/3 bag chocolate chips
1/3 bag butterscotch chips

Almond Roca
Cream:
1 c butter
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
Add:
1 beaten egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
Add:
2 c CAKE flour (muy importante to have cake flour. All purpose flour will not do the trick)
Mix thoroughly and pat mixture into a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes so it is golden brown. Break up squares of a Hershey chocolate bar, Symphony bar (I used two 10 oz bars), or a chocolate orange for a citrus kick. When the cookie part is done baking, place the chocolate on top. Put it back in the oven for about 30 seconds to a minute. Spread the melted chocolate over the cookie. Then sprinkle sliced almonds on top. Cut while warm


I got this from Amber, (Cassie's sister)
