Ingredients

Bread

1 ⅓ cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1 ½ tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoon salt
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoon active dry yeast

Topping

1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
Italian seasoning, garlic salt, Parmesan cheese, parsley, or sesame seeds, as desired

Instructions

Add the water, butter, sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast to the bread machine pan in the order listed.
Place the pan into the bread machine and select the dough cycle. Allow the machine to complete the full cycle before removing the dough.
Remove the dough from the bread machine and place it on a lightly floured surface. Divide into egg-sized pieces, then roll and stretch each piece into a 6-8-inch rope.
Place the dough ropes on an ungreased baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and water. Brush over the dough, then sprinkle with your desired toppings.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and enjoy warm!

Notes

Bread Machine: Use the dough cycle, not the regular baking cycle. Mine typically takes about 90 minutes, but times vary by machine.
Shaping: Lightly flour your work surface if the dough is sticky, and keep the ropes similar in size for even baking.
Toppings: Italian seasoning, garlic salt, Parmesan cheese, parsley, or sesame seeds are all delicious options. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter and Parmesan after baking!
Storage: Once cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
Freezing: These freeze great! Place cooled breadsticks in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat before serving.
