Crazy Bread Sticks

I got this recipe from my friend, Anah, and I hope she doesn't mind that I am posting it here. I have made these a few times and like them because, not only do they taste good, they are fairly quick and easy. Plus, every time I have made them (whether a 1/2 batch for just Jeff and I) or a full batch when I've had a handful of people over, they are ALWAYS gone that night. No leftovers! [And, unfortunately, I can't keep the picture from being sideways!]

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c warm water
• 2 Tb sugar
• 2 Tb yeast
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 c flour (*every time I have made these, they have been pretty sticky, so I might try more flour next time)
  
• 1/4 c butter
• garlic salt or parmesan cheese, optional
  

Directions:

1. Dissolve water, sugar, yeast, and salt together. Mix in flour and let sit for 10-20 minutes.
2. Dump onto a floured cutting board and flatten with hand. Cut into strips with a pizza cutter. (Because of the stickiness, I don't use a rolling pin and I often end up forming the bread sticks with my hand. They don't look the greatest, but they taste good!)
3. Melt butter and pour onto large cookie sheet, reserving about 2 Tb.
4. Place strips on cookie sheet. Brush tops with a basting brush dipped in the remaining melting butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt or parmesan cheese, if desired. (You can also add the garlic salt to the mixed butter and spread it on that way.)
   
5. Let raise an additional 15 minutes.
6. Bake at 375 for for 20 minutes.
