Ingredients

1 lb. round loaf sourdough bread, unsliced

7 Tbsp. butter

1/4 cup minced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 Tbsp. fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 tps. bried basil leaves

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Slice bread into 1-1/2 inch slices, cutting to bottom of loaf but not through it. Turn bread one quater turn, then slice bread again into 1-1/2 inch slices, cutting to but not through bottom of loaf, forming breadsticks that are attached to the bottom crust. ( The loaf should look like the popular onion flower appetizer.) Carefully place loaf on a sheet of heavy-duty foil.

Melt butter in small saucepan, and stir in onion and garlic. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and dried basil. drizzle the butter mixture evenly between breadsticks and over top of loaf, then sprinkle with cheese.

Bake in preheated400 F. oven for 20 minutes. Then unwrap the loaf and bake for another 10-20 minutes until cheese and bread begins to brown.

To serve, pull apart breadsticks. Makes 24 sticks.
