OLIVE GARDEN BREADSTICKS
(copycat recipe)

1 loaf bread dough, defrosted if frozen
Pam non-stick cooking spray
Garlic powder
Dry oregano leaf (rub to a powder between fingers)

When dough is soft enough to knead, spray your fingers with Pam or oil and knead just until you can shape into cigar-sized pieces (about 8 to 10). Place these 3-inches apart on Pam-sprayed cookie sheets. Let rise in warm place until doubled - about 1 1/2 hours.

Then holding Pam about 8-inches from sticks, lightly spray top of each and then dust with garlic powder and oregano.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack to serve within a day or two.
