stayed home sick today, but i could make bread if i let the bread machine do all the kneading for me. i decided to make breadsticks, because i haven't yet. i found a breadmachine recipe for cheesey bread and sort of followed it. i used cheddar cheese, and garlic-infused EVOO rather than butter, and added some crushed dried herbs, set the breadmachine to the dough cycle, and let it do the work. after the initial rise, i dumped it out of the machine, rolled it out into a large rectangle, and used a pizza cutter to cut it into long, thin strips. i decided to make twisted strands of cheesey breadsticks. and then i thought about other shapes. it's opening weekend of nfl football, so how about Xs & Os? i tried it, let 'em rise again, brushed an eggwash on top, and sprinkled sesame seeds on the Os. the verdict? excellent! not that i'm a big fan of breadsticks, but these were good--crisp & flavorful.
