Best EVER Square Breadsticks

Be careful, these puppies are addicting!

Seriously.

They're the best bread sticks ever!

First, you make the dough and the topping 

 Then, you stretch the dough out a bit  (just with your hands)so it's bigger and flatter and plop it in the center of a rimmed cookie sheet. Then, using the back of a spoon, push the dough out to the corners so it's flat and even in the pan. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as its fairly flat, somewhat even, and goes all the way to the edge of the pan, you're good. Then spread the topping on.

 Bake, Cut into squares, and you get these puppies!!!

This recipe came from my mom, who I think got it from an old neighbor of ours

Twisted Italian Breadsticks

My goodness, how many good bread stick recipes are there in the world?
A TON!!!!
Here's one of them.


Don't they turn out pretty?

*note: eat them while they're warm! We left our extras in a sealed container, and when we had them again a day and a half later, they tasted stale.

Great Harvest Pumpkin Bread

So the other day, Ben was craving pumpkin. As a result, he made pumpkin bread! It was pretty funny, the only pumpkin we had was a 30 oz can, so we ended up with a TON of bread (4 loaves and 24 muffins!) but OH MAN were they GOOD!!!! He found the recipe online
Best pumpkin bread ever!

GREAT HARVEST PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD 


2 1/2 cups white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
16 oz cooked or canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 cup oil
4 eggs, beaten lightly
2/3 cup water
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two (9x5 inch) loaf pans or three (8x4 inch) loaf pans.

Mix flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl; set aside.


Mix pumpkin, oil, eggs, and 2/3 cup water together and stir into dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. Place batter in prepared pans.


Bake 60 or 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.Let cool completely.


NOTE--The bread only reaches it's delicious peak after a while. We thought it would be the most delicious when it was warm and the chocolate chips were all melty, but wrong. We put it in a covered cake pan to store overnight, and it was SO much better the next day!
