This is a wonderfully easy recipe, perfect for parties!

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 cup Crisco shortening
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. turmeric
• 1/2 tsp. Olive oil
• Parchment paper

Preparation

Step 1

Place flour in a large bowl; add the seasonings. Add the Crisco to the flour and work it with your fingers into small pieces. Slowly add the water while working the dough.

You may need a touch more or less water depending on the consistency of the dough. You want the dough to be workable, not too sticky. Form the dough into a ball.

Place the olive oil in the palm of your hand and rub it on the outside of the dough, then pat the dough with flour.

Dust a clean surface with flour to roll out the dough.

Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch in thickness. Cut dough into approximately two inch strips and roll these strips into sticks.

Place on parchment paper and bake.

Preheat Oven 375 degrees:

Bake the breadsticks about 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
