   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4 1/2      teaspoons  quick-rise yeast -- (2 pkg)
   2 1/2      teaspoons  salt
   2          teaspoons  fennel seeds -- crushed
   1           teaspoon  dried rosemary leaves -- crumbled
      1/2      teaspoon  coarsely ground black pepper
   4 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- about
      1/2           cup  olive oil

1. In large bowl, combine yeast, salt, fennel seeds, rosemary, 
pepper, and 2 cups flour. With spoon, stir in 1 1/2 cups very warm 
water (120F to 130F); beat vigorously with spoon 1 minute. Stir in 
olive oil. Gradually stir in 2 1/4 cups flour.

2. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth and 
elastic, about 8 minutes, working in more flour (about 1/2 cup) while 
kneading. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 375F. Grease 2 large cookie sheets. Divide dough 
in half. Keeping remaining dough covered, cut half of dough into 32 
pieces. Shape each piece into 12" long rope. Place ropes on cookie 
sheets, about 1" apart.

4. Place cookie sheets on 2 oven racks and bake breadsticks 20 
minutes or until golden and crisp throughout, rotating cookie sheets 
between upper and lower racks halfway through baking time. Remove 
breadsticks to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.

5.  Makes 64 breadsticks.
