HERB DOUGH
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (4 1/4 to 4 3/4 cups)
1 package Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon thyme
3/4 teaspoon rosemary
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
SEED TOPPING
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Sesame or poppy seeds
Servings: 24
1. In large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, salt, rosemary, oregano and thyme. Heat water and oil until very warm (120º to 130ºF); stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
2. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest on floured surface 10 minutes (Or, place dough in greased airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
3. Divide dough in half; roll each to 9-inch square. With sharp knife, cut each square into 12 (3/4-inch wide) strips. Holding ends of each strip, twist in opposite directions 5 times. Place sticks, slightly apart, on 2 large greased baking sheets. Cover; let rest until risen slightly, about 10 to 20 minutes.
4. Brush with egg; sprinkle with seed.
5. Bake at 400ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
