Baked goods from yeast dough takes so long to make, and this is a recipe which is made one day and baked the next. It rises very nicely in the refrigerator overnight, or you can make it in the morning and have fresh hot breadsticks with your spaghetti dinner in the evening.

1 c. warm water
1 pkg. Dry yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1/8 cup oil
1 small egg
3 1/2 - 4 1/2 cups flour

Measure warm water into a bowl. Sprinkle in yeast and stir until dissolved. Add sugar, salt, oil, egg, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Add enough additional flour to make a stiff dough. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-24 hours. 

(Bread machine can be used just add all ingredients at once, using 3 1/2 cups of flour in the beginning, and adding more during the mixing if necessary)

When ready to use, remove from refrigerator and turn out onto a lightly floured board. For pretzels cut into 16 pieces; for bread sticks into 20. Roll into a pencil shape, for pretzels 20 long, for bread sticks about 16 long. If making pretzels, twist into shape. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with salt, coarse salt, sesame seeds, or any combination.

Let rise in a warm place for about 25 minimum. Bake at 400 degrees F. for about 15 minutes.
