RICH ROSEMARY BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Place half the water in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and the sugar. Allow to sit about 10 minutes, or until the yeast is bubbling. Add the remaining water, 2 tablespoons of the oil and the salt. Stir to combine. Begin to stir in the flour, 1 cup at a time. When it forms a dough, turn it onto a lightly floured board and knead in the remaining flour. Knead the dough for 8 minutes, then knead in the herbs and the pepper. Continue to knead for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Oil a large bowl, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until doubled in bulk, 5 to 6 hours. Punch the dough down and divide it into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece into a 6-by-11-inch rectangle less than inch thick. Cut them into strips a little less than i inch wide.
• Oil the baking sheets and place the strips about inch apart. Brush lightly with oil and set aside for 1 hour to rise. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden. Cool on racks and serve.

GARLIC HERB BREAD TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly oil 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets.
• Stir together rosemary, thyme, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir together oil, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in another bowl.
• Divide dough in half. Keeping half of dough covered with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth), gently roll out other half into a 15-by 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. (Use your hands to pull corners. If dough is very elastic, cover with towel and let rest about 3 minutes.)
• Sprinkle one half of dough (crosswise) with half of herb mixture, then fold dough in half crosswise and roll lightly to form a roughly 10- by 8-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise into 9 strips (less than 1 inch wide) with a pizza wheel or a sharp heavy knife. Keeping remaining strips covered with a kitchen towel, twist each strip from both ends and place on baking sheet, arranging twists 1 inch apart. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand while forming remaining bread twists.
• Roll out and form more bread twists with remaining dough and herb mixture, then arrange on other sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon garlic oil and let stand 5 minutes.
• Bake bread twists, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, stir together parsley and remaining 3/4 cup cheese in a shallow baking pan.
• Immediately after baking, brush bread twists with remaining garlic oil, then roll in parsley and cheese until coated. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRUSTY BREADSTICKS WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Place water in large bowl of electric mixer fitted with dough hook. Add yeast and pinch of sugar; stir to blend. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon salt and chopped rosemary; beat at medium speed until blended. Add 4 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, beating until well incorporated. Mix milk and oil in small bowl. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add milk mixture. Increase speed to medium; beat 6 minutes. Scrape dough from hook and sides of bowl (dough will be soft and sticky). Let dough rest in bowl 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle 2 heavy large baking sheets generously with cornmeal. Turn out dough onto floured surface and knead until soft and slightly sticky, adding more flour if necessary. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Let dough rest 10 minutes.
• Roll each dough piece between work surface and palms of hands to 12-inch long rope. Arrange 6 ropes on each baking sheet, spacing apart. Break small green clusters off rosemary sprigs. Insert stem end of rosemary clusters along top of breadsticks, spacing rosemary 2 inches apart. Using sprayer filled with cold water, lightly mist breadsticks. Let rise uncovered in warm draft-free area until puffy and light, about 30 minutes.
• Position 1 rack in lowest third of oven and 1 rack in center and preheat to 450°F. Brush breadsticks lightly with glaze. Sprinkle very lightly with coarse salt, if desired. Place baking sheets on racks in oven and spray oven with water. Bake 15 minutes, spraying oven with water every 5 minutes, spraying oven with water every 5 minutes. Continue baking without spraying until breadsticks are golden and sound hollow when tapped, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer breadsticks to racks; cool. (Can be made ahead. Wrap tightly in foil and freeze up to 2 weeks. Thaw breadsticks. If desired, rewarm wrapped sticks in 350°F oven 15 minutes.)
