Breadsticks

3 C flour (divided)
2 Tbsp yeast (two packages)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
1 ¼ C warm water
1 Tbsp oil
1 C fresh grated Parmesan cheese (or dry if that is all you have)
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Spray a cookie sheet with spray PAM. Combine ½ of the flour (1 ½ C) with yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic and as much of the remaining flour as needed to make a stiff dough. Knead until smooth, four or five times. Divide dough into fourths; shape each into a ball then divide each ball into 10 portions. Shape each portion into an 8 inch rope. Brush each (or dip each) rope with/in butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds and place on baking sheet. Cover and let rise for about 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake until lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.
