Ingredients

3 cups bread flour, divided

2 T sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 package rapid-rise yeast

1 cup plus 2 T hot water (120 to 130 degrees)

1 T plus 1 tsp anise seeds

1 T brandy

1 T olive oil

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup bread flour, divided

Vegetable cooking spray

2 tsps sugar

Directions

Combine 2 cups flour, 2 T sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl, stirring well. Gradually add water to flour mixture, beating well at low speed of an electric mixer. Beat 2 additional minutes at medium speed. Add anise seeds, brandy, olive oil, and vanilla, beating well.

Gradually stir in enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make a soft dough.

Sprinkle 3 T flour evenly over work surface. Turn dough out onto floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Cover dough; let rest 10 minutes.

Sprinkle remaining 1 T flour evenly over work surface. Roll dough into a 24- x 9-inch rectangle. Cut dough into 24 (1-inch wide) strips. Place strips, 2 inches apart, on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 15 minutes.

Lightly coat breadsticks with cooking spray; sprinkle evenly with 2 tsps sugar. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes or until golden. 2 dozen.
