"My kids love these nice tender breadsticks, and so down anyone else who tastes them. Any leftovers are great with butter and honey for breakfast the next day. -Elaine Anderson Aliquippa, Pennsylvania"

Ingredients:

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast 1/2 cup sugar, divided 2 cups warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees), divided 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 egg

1 teaspoon salt 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Butter Spread: 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

1.	In a large mixing 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.
2.	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.
3.	Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, cream the butter, Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Coat over breadsticks or serve with them as dip.
