Letter Pretzels

These are such a fun and easy snack to make after school. The kids love making them into their initials. You can eat them with plain salt or go the cinnamon sugar route, both are super yummy.

1 T yeast

1 ½ c warm water

1 t salt

1 T sugar

4 c white flour

Egg

Coarse salt

Dissolve yeast in water and add sugar and salt. Stir flour into mixture. Knead and roll dough and cut into small pieces. Shape into letters.

Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with coarse salt and place on foil lined cookie sheet. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.

Donnette's Rolls/Breadsticks

For those non-bakers, this is one of the easiest roll recipe's that I have ever come across. It's simple and fairly quick as far as roll dough goes. It makes great breadsticks, rolls, and just about anything else you can think of to use it for. Thanks for sharing it with me Donnette.


2 C. Warm Wate

2 Tbsp. Yeast

1/2 C. Sugar

Mix and let sit for 5- 10 minutes until yeast starts to foam

then add:

2 1/2 tsp. Salt

3 C. Flour

Mix well then add:

1 Egg

1/4 C. Oil

Mix together then add:

3 C. flour (1 C. at a time)

Mix together until dough is formed. Do not add too much flour or dough will be stiff. It is better for dough to be a little sticky. Let dough raise for 1/2 hour. Make it into desired shape i.e. rolls, breadsticks, etc. Then allow it to rise for 20 minutes more. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Once out of oven brush with butter while warm.

BreadSticks

Use the Roll dough

1 Stick margarine melted

Parmesean Cheese

McCormicks Salad Supreme Seasoning mix

Garlic Salt

Parsley Flakes

Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Then Cut into strips with a pizza cutter. Then take each strip and dip it into butter and seasoning and lay it on a pan, make sure both sides of the beardstick are coated with seasoning. You can just lay the margarine and seasonings in the pan you are going to cook the breadsticks in and then roll them in the seasonings as you lay them out in the pan. Allow them to rise for 10 minutes, then Cook at 400 for 12-15 minutes.
