ok made some modifications to this recipe. i screwed up and put the egg white in the dough. oops. still tastes good :-) , i took the picture above, i used olive oil exclusively, and made half the bread oregano on top (while baking), and the other half wiped with olive oil post bake and parmesan bread. the red sauce is "best pizza sauce" recipe on here from tomatoe paste (with oregano, basil etc). great sauce for these breadstix!!! enjoy :-)

I make these all the time. They are a family favourite as you can shape them any way you like. We make candy cane shaped ones and pretzels at Christmas.
