Rosie's Easy Bread Sticks
This recipe was actually accidental, but it sure turned out yummy! 

Combine in large bowl: 2 c. water with 1 T. each sugar and yeast
 Let stand about 5 minutes, until the yeast activates.
 Add 4 1/2 cups white flour.  Knead.

Spray a 10x15 inch cookie sheet (the kind with a 1" rim) with no-stick spray.
Press and roll the dough right into the pan, evenly, all the way to the edges.
Brush lightly with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon).
Sprinkle generously with garlic salt.*
Cut with pizza cutter into 24 bread sticks.
Bake 400 degrees, 15-17 minutes, until underside is browned.

If desired, top with Parmesan cheese, or brush with extra olive oil.  Add more garlic salt to taste.

*A note on the garlic salt from my Mom: you may notice this recipe doesn't include salt in the dough.  Salt slows rising in yeast breads, so by not adding salt, there is no rising time needed for the dough.  However, it still needs that salty flavor, so you sprinkle the garlic salt on the top.  Make sense?  If you don't like garlic salt, you could use seasoned salt.
