This recipe has been a favorite of mine. I always bake them for the holidays and when I go to a friends home for dinner.

1 package of frozen bread dough
1 stick of soft butter
1 shaker of garlic salt
1 can of Parmesan cheese

Remove 1 or 2 loafs of frozen bread dough. Let thaw till workable. Slice the bread into 1 inch pieces. Then using your hands roll each piece between your hands to make the piece into a rope. Lay it on a baking sheet. Continue till you have done all pieces.

Place butter in microwave and melt. Then using a pastry brush, brush the melted  butter on top of the rope shaped bread sticks. Sprinkle with garlic salt and Parmesan cheese. Let rise for about 2 hours or till almost doubled in size.

Bake in 350 oven for about 20 minutes or till the bottoms are golden brown. Remove from oven and then brush with melted butter again. Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese on top.

Serve and enjoy!
