Charles Smith relies of a bread machine to mix the dough for these buttery golden breadsticks that are mildly seasoned with garlic and basil. 'I like to use this dough when making pizza, too,' says the Baltic, Connecticut reader. 'It makes two 12-inch crusts.'
This sauce, using only garlic, salt, lemon juice, and oil, can be used as a condiment on grilled meats, as a salad dressing, and in dishes that require good garlic flavor.
When winter is getting me down, this is what I make. I've found roasting Roma tomatoes is about the only way to make a store-bought tomato bought in the dead of winter taste "real."
This bread is so delicious and will really make your house smell wonderful as it is baking. I've fooled around with this recipe and have done various things (used olive oil instead of butter, added basil and oregeno) etc, so it is very versitle. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
