Rhodes Buttery Breadsticks

I gotta say, I am loving this recipe lately! I feel a little silly posting a recipe using pre-made dough on our cooking blog but these breadsticks definitely have their place and time. Have you ever made a yummy dinner for someone and put all your energy into the main dish and had nothing to go with? Or who out there happens to have some rhodes rolls in their freezer right now? I do have to say this recipe is not a replacement for our Quick and Easy Breadsticks, but is another very yummy option. Not only are these breadsticks super good, they seem to be the perfect companion to my meals when I have very little time.

24 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed but still cold
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (I like fresh best)
garlic salt

Thaw 24 Rhodes dinner rolls. It's best when they are still cold but completely thawed. Place cheese onto separate plate. Roll each roll into an approximately 6" breadstick. Melt 1 stick butter. Place melted butter on 11x17 baking sheet and coat entire surface with butter. Roll each breadstick in the butter. Next roll each buttered breadstick in parmesan cheese. Place breadstick on baking sheet in 2 rows of twelve each. Sprinkle with garlic salt, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until double in size. Remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Quick and Easy Breadsticks

My boys LOVE these breadsticks. I have been using this recipe for years. I am not sure who I got it from, but I have shared it with lots of people. They are really quick and easy to make. You only have to start them about 1 hour before dinner and you will end up with delicious, warm breadsticks to go with your meal!

1 ½ cup warm water
1 Tablespoon yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar
3 ½ cup flour
½ tsp salt
Butter for pan.  Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar and let it sit and bubble for a few minutes. Add the salt and flour. Knead for 3 minutes. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. (I do all of this in my Bosch--any mixer would work great) Melt 3-4 Tbsp of butter and pour most of it onto a cookie sheet. Roll dough to cover cookie sheet. Cut to desired width, then twist or lay flat on cookie sheet. Brush remainder of butter on breadsticks and sprinkle with garlic salt, parmesan cheese, and parsley (or whatever seasonings you like). Raise for 10-20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. You can roll them out to fit a cookie sheet and they will be puffy and soft. If you prefer a thinner, crunchy breadstick roll them out to fit a cookie sheet and a jelly roll pan. Either way they are great!
