A-Z QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well with whisk. Stir in A-Z ingredients of your choice and vanilla,whisk again or stir with spoon if too chunky.
• 2. In another bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a whisk then stir with spoon (no mixer) into bowl with wet ingredients JUST UNTIL MOISTENED-don't overmix or the bread will be tough.
• 3. Stir in nuts. Pour into two greased (spray lightly with Pam) regular metal loaf pans-(8 inch x 4 inch x 2 inch) Bake at 325 degrees for 55-65 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. **Hint-I use two glass loaf pans-browns nicer than metal-but spray only bottom pan so it will rise in the pan. Not necessary to bake in though-just performs better-and I have made this same recipe for over 30 yrs.
• 4. Best results are when you wrap it after it's cooled but still slightly warm in foil and wait one day. It will slice beautifully for you-even thin slices!! Although you can certainly eat it before that! Most of the time it doesn't last that long!!!

ALMOST-FAMOUS BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Place 1/4 cup warm water in the bowl of a mixer; sprinkle in the yeast and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, butter, sugar, fine salt and 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons warm water; mix with the paddle attachment until a slightly sticky dough forms, 5 minutes.
• Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until very smooth and soft, 3 minutes. Roll into a 2-foot-long log; cut into 16 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Knead each piece slightly and shape into a 7-inch-long breadstick; arrange 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth; let rise in a warm spot until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the topping: Brush the breadsticks with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Bake until lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt with the garlic powder and oregano. Brush the warm breadsticks with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with the flavored salt.
