makes 9
1/2 cup warm water
1 tsp. dry yeast
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 egg white
In a small dish stir dry yeast into the warm water (120 to 130 degrees F. - - warm to the wrist). Set aside about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl combine about half a cup of the flour with the salt, sugar and oregano; mix together well. Stir in the oil and softened yeast. By hand, gradually add the remaining flour to make a firm dough (may be a bit more or less than given amount).
Knead on a lightly floured surface about six or seven minutes. Place in an oiled bowl and lightly oil top of dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place (80 to 85 degrees F.) until double in volume, about 40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Punch dough down and divide in thirds. Divide each third into three pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 7 inches long. Place about an inch apart on a non-stick or greased cookie sheet. Brush tops of bread sticks with egg white.
Bake at 400 degrees for 17 to 20 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove and cool slightly before serving.
