2002 Cowley Cookbook
Dissolve 2 T yeast in 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix:
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup flour
Add yeast and 2 1/4 cups more flour. Mix well. (The dough will be quite sticky.) Cover nad let raise 10 minutes.
Roll on floured surface to same size as the cookie sheet. Melt 1 cube butter in cookie sheet. Cut dough in strips 1/2″ to 1″ wide. Lay strips cookie sheet and flip over, coating both sides with butter. Raise 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic salt if desired.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes until just barely brown. (Butter soaked up in the sticks is a sign that they are done.)
