3 cups All Purpose Flour         Oven 400 degrees
1 pkg instant yeast (.25 oz.)
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
8 oz. milk, warmed to 110 degrees
4 oz. water, warmed to 110 degrees  

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Prepare pan by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.  Combine dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  Add warmed liquids all at once to the dry mixture.  Stir until well mixed, incorporating all the dry ingredients.  Cover the bowl with a clean towel and set aside for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the dough to rise.  Empty dough out onto a clean, floured surface.  Knead by hand 6-8 times, it may be necessary to add additional flour to the surface to keep dough from sticking.  Roll dough to 3/4 inch thickness.  Place rolled dough onto prepared  pan, add your favorite topping.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, depending on crust thickness.  Use your imagination for topping these breadsticks.  Try a cinnamon sugar mixture, after you've spread melted butter on top of the dough.  Cheddar and parmesan are also good toppings or just use them plain for dipping into homemade marinara or ranch sauce.
