Pizza Breadsticks
These are fantastic. Most pizza restaurants throughout the USA will have a version of these on the menu and they are quite addictive. If you are adding the Marinara Sauce as a dipper...oh my. Perfect snacking right there!
Do not underestimate the difference that fresh yeast can make to the end result of any yeast-raised bread. The texture is quite different and if I can get it, I always prefer it to dried yeast. Ask your local bakery or continental grocer if they can source it for you. It's cheap as chips and will last at least 3–4 weeks if well-wrapped in the fridge.
