Vegan Daughter watched a movie at her friend’s house last night and was intrigued with the bread sticks that came with their pizza order. She asked if I could make some for our pizza and movie night tonight. Vegan Son #3 is on a trip to Niagara Falls with his best friend this weekend, so I used his portion of pizza dough to make these. So, if you don’t want to make six pizzas as my dough recipe  allows, consider making some bread sticks.

INGREDIENTS
– pizza dough
– 8 tsp onion powder
– 4 tsp garlic powder
– 1 cup nutritional yeast
– melted margarine

METHOD
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 

1. Make the dough per the recipe (a half recipe will make 14 bread sticks). When dough has risen, make 60g boules, then roll into 10″ ropes. 

2. Place ropes an inch or so apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mist with oil, cover, and let rise until almost doubled. 

3. While dough is rising, pulse the onion powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast in a coffee grinder (or blender). 

4. When ready to bake, brush the the sticks with melted margarine. Top with the onion powder mixture (if you don’t use it all, save the leftovers in a sealed container for next time).

5. Bake for 7 mins, liberally drizzle more melted margarine over the bread sticks, and bake for another 7 mins. 

6. Let cool on a wire rack, but eat while still warm.
