Note
- I used instant yeast so there was no rising ceremony for it.
- If using active yeast follow the packaged instructions.
- I ended up having a little fat bread sticks after the bread rose.. So roll them little more thinner for sleek sticks.
- I haven't added any flavor to dough. Feel free to customize the dough.
- This recipe was perfect for two.
