Bread Machine Breadsticks Recipe

We have had our bread machine for a very long time and it never disappoints. Jim is the bread maker in the family as he makes our pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, apple bread and other recipes. He recently made these breadsticks and they were so good! Think Olive Garden type breadsticks warm out of the oven! We had them with a small side dish of roasted garlic Alfredo sauce. So good. Comfort on a plate!

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of water
3 Tablespoon butter, softened
3 cups “00” flour OR all purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 teaspoons regular active dry yeast OR 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast or quick acting active dry yeast

FOR THE TOP

1 Tablespoon water
1 egg white
Sprinkle of sea salt

Alfredo or marinara sauce for serving if desired.
