Bread Sticks

Ingredients

• Vienna dough or common roll dough
• good shortening
• little sugar

Directions

The book says “a cool oven”. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

1. Prepare the dough and place it in a cool area to stiffen and lose some springiness.

2. Break the dough into small pieces and shape them into long strips, the length and thickness of a pencil.

3. Place the strips on baking pans, allow them to rise, and bake in a 300°F (150°C) oven until very crisp and dry.
