Mom's Breadsticks

from mom
This was my mom's go-to breadstick recipe growing up. I haven't seen a recipe that uses malted milk powder, but it adds a great taste. All I know is these breadsticks were always a welcome sight in our home growing up.

1 Tbsp yeast
1 1/2 cups water
1 Tbsp malted milk powder
1 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
Gradually add 4 to 4 1/2 cups flour

Add first 5 ingredients, then flour. Knead lightly. Divide into sticks 1/2 inch wide. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with seasoned salt or coarse salt, Parmesan cheese, or sesame seeds. Let rise 15-30 minutes. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.
