Ingredients
- 2 * 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 * 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- 2 * 2 cups warm water (110° to 115°), divided
- 3 * 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 * 1 egg
- 1 * 1 teaspoon salt
- 4-1/2 * 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation
Step 1
Prep: 25 min. + rising Bake: 10 min.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1 cup warm water. Add the oil, egg, salt, 2 cups flour, and remaining sugar and water. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 40 minutes.
Punch the dough down. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into 36 pieces. Shape each piece into a 6-in. rope. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 25 minutes.
Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, cream the butter, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Serve with breadsticks. Yield: 3 dozen breadsticks and about 2/3 cup butter.
