Freshly Milled Garlic Bread Sticks

My pizza dough recipe is very versatile. I used that dough recipe for the bread sticks and everyone loved them! These are perfect for a pasta night! I used my bread machine on a custom setting with just a knead and rise. So when it beeped after the first rise, I popped it out, rolled, shaped, and baked. That custom setting really helps make these things more passive while you get on to doing other things! I use it all the time to make dinner rolls, kolaches, pizza, french bread, hot dogs, hamburger buns, and now breadsticks. The only thing you may need is the hotdog pan and a scale. I make hotdog buns often and slide them into freezer bags for when the moment arrives. So it may be worth snagging now that it will have more than one purpose! And if you ever need a hotdog bun tutorial, I have a great highlight on my instagram!

8. Roll the rectangles into logs and fold the ends under, and place seam side down in the hotdog pan.
