Cinnamon Sugar Breadsticks w/ Cream Cheese Drizzle
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/4 C sugar, divided
1 C warm water, divided
1 1/2 Tbsp oil
1 egg
1 /2 tsp salt
2 1/4 C flour
1/4 C butter, melted
Cinnamon Sugar mixture: 6 Tbsp sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon
In
mixer dissolve yeast, 1/2 Tbsp sugar and 1/2 C warm water. Allow yeast
to proof. Add in oil, egg salt, 1 1/2 C flour and remaining sugar and
water. Mix until smooth. Stir in remaining flour to form a soft
dough. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place into a greased bowl and
cover. Let rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes or until doubled.
Punch
down the dough and put onto floured counter. Roll into a 8 x 14
rectangle. Using your pizza cutter cut into about 10 pieces. Roll each
strip like a snake. Then hang the dough over your finger in the middle
and twist the two ends together. Place on a greased cookie sheet and
allow to rise for another 20 minutes or until doubled.
Preheat
oven to 400 and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with
melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drizzle with cream
cheese glaze (see below)
Cream Cheese Drizzle:
4 ounces cream cheese
1 1/4 C powdered sugar
1 - 2 Tbsp whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
Soften
cream cheese and mix everything together. Beat until a good
consistency for drizzling. Place in a ziploc bag and snip off the
corner. Drizzle over warm breadsticks.
(note: I made a double batch of breadsticks, so I also made a double batch of the cream cheese drizzle. I think I probably had about 1/2 of the drizzle left.)
Yummy! Delicious! Oh, my, it was nummy, addicting-ness!! Nice and fresh and warm and fluffy! They were so good! I would 101% recommend you try them!
Now that was fresh . . . the next morning, they weren't nearly as good. If you warmed them up in the microwave for about 10 seconds, they were pretty good . . .but not NEARLY as good as fresh. So go ahead. Make them. And eat them fresh. All of them. Because you may as well use all those calories on them when they're the best!!
Have a wonderful day!
