Directions

• Step 1
  In a large bowl, combine yeast and warm water; stir, and let stand for 10 minutes. Add milk, butter, sugar, and salt and beat well. Add 2 cups flour and beat for 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Step 2
  On lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size. Punch down dough and divide into four balls. Divide each ball into four parts. Roll each part on a lightly floured surface to an 8-inch rope; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Step 3
  In small bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Brush egg white over breadsticks and sprinkle with caraway seeds. Let rise until almost doubled, about 30 minutes.
• Step 4
  Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake breadsticks for 20 minutes or until deep golden brown.
• Step 5
  Remove to wire racks to cool.
