Roasted Onion and Garlic Bread Sticks

I made this bread stick yesterday for a family dinner. Lasagna was the main dish (thanks to Costco). I also have a great recipe for Lasagna from my grandma Betty. I will make that soon. This recipe for breadsticks was found in a Taste of Home cookbook. They turned out pretty good. They don't look as pretty as they tasted, they were chewy and soft and I loved the roasted onion and garlic. I was hoping to have one for lunch today, but they didn't last, they were gobbled up quickly last night.

Roasted Onion and Garlic Bread Sticks


1/4 C. Onion
2 Cloves chopped garlic
browned in 1 Tbs. butter in a sauce pan, set aside.

1/2 C. Water (110° to 115°)
1/2 C. Milk (110° to 115°)
2 1/2 tsp. dry active yeast
1 Tbs. sugar
4 Tbs. butter melted
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 - 3 C. Flour

Mix water, sugar and yeast and set aside. In mixer combine eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt, mix. Add yeast mixture after it has doubled. Mix. Add onion and garlic mix until all incorperated. Add flour until a soft dough. Knead dough on a flat surface. Add to greased bowl (I use Pam) cover with plastic wrap and let sit until doubled in size (about 30 min.) Once doubled, punch down and knead again. Cutting dough into equal balls and then rolling into ropes. Place on a cookie sheet and let rise. (About 20 min.)

Cook 350° for 15-20 min, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and parmasan.
