Breadsticks

These breadsticks are good, but if you make them half-size and leave off the extra salt that's sprinkled on top, they can also be nice for a teething baby to chew on.

You can replace the Kosher salt on top with any other coarse salt of your choice, or use toasted sesame seeds.

1 package dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup salad oil or olive oil
2 cups flour
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
Kosher salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Mix in sugar, 1 tablespoon salt, the oil and 1 cup of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough additional flour to make the dough easy to handle.
Turn dough onto a lightly-floured surface and knead until smooth, about five minutes.
Cut dough into 32 equal parts, and roll each part into a thin rope about 8-10 inches long. Place one inch apart on greased baking sheets. Brush lightly with additional oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place.
Beat egg white and water slightly, brush over sticks. Sprinkle with Kosher salt.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
