Glorious Breadsticks

This is my friend Glory's recipe. I tried them a couple of weeks ago and they are so yummy! I've made them twice since. They are the best right out of the oven, and only take about 45 minutes to make. She has always just eyeballed the topping. I measured out what I thought was about right and added the measurements to the recipe, you can adjust it as you like. When you take the dough out of the bowl to spread it out on the pan, keep some extra flour handy to prevent it from sticking to your hands.

1 packet of yeast (or 2 1/4 tsps)
2 TBSPs sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Topping
3 TBSPs melted butter
3 TBSPs grated Parmesan cheese (the powdered kind)

2. In mixing bowl add flour, 1/2 tsp salt, and yeast mixture. Mix with dough hook for 3 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes in the bowl.
