Basic Bread Recipe (Click here for recipe!)

This is simply a technique in making the bread sticks to be a great treat for http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifyour Valentine Dinner!

Topping for Bread Stick:
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
OR
1 tsp dried onion flakes
2 Tbs olive oil
1 cup shredded Co-Jack Cheese

Step One: Roll dough between oiled hands* into 14" rope. Shape rope into hearts and pinch ends to seal it. Place on parchment covered cookie sheet.

Step Two: Brush heart shaped bread with olive oil; sprinkle evenly with seasoning mixture. Sprinkle and lightly press the shredded cheese into the dough.





Let rise slightly; Bake 350 degrees for 18 minutes OR until golden brown and cheese is melted.





*Remember, anytime you are working with your bread dough, oil your hands and working surface rather than flouring the surface.

Note from Paula: Parchment paper is very important for these bread sticks as the cheese might stick to the cookie sheet and tear your bread stick when removing it from the cooking surface.
