1/4 oz Active dry yeast 3 c Flour, divided
1 c Warm water (110-115 degrees) Cornmeal
3 tb Sugar 1 Egg white
1 ts Salt 1 tb Water
1/4 c Vegetable oil Coarse salt (optional)
In mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt and oil;
stir until dissolved. Add two cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add
enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured
board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Place
in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in
a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down and
divide into 12 portions. Using your hands, roll each portion into a
10×1/2 inch strip. Place 1 inch apart on a greased baking sheet
sprinkled with cornmeal. Let rise, uncovered, until doubled, about 45
to 60 minutes. Beat egg white and water; brush over breadsticks.
Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Blase baking sheet on middle
rack of oven; place a large shallow pan filled with boiling water on
lowest rack. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Brush again with egg white.
Bake 5 minutes more or until golden brown.
