Rosemary-Fennel Breadsticks
**triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute**
INGREDIENTS
2 package(s) quick-rise yeast
2 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 teaspoon(s) fennel seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon(s) dried rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon(s) coarsely ground black pepper
4 3/4 cup(s) (approximately, as needed) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s) olive oil
DIRECTIONS
1. In large bowl, combine yeast, salt, fennel seeds, rosemary, pepper, and 2 cups flour. With spoon, stir in 1 1/3 cups very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F); 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 375 degrees F. 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-inch-long rope. Place ropes on cookie sheets, about 1 inch 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.

You could roast it in the oven with some extra virgin olive oil and with some salt and pepper.
Slice the fennel, drizzle with olive oil, S&P, and roast in oven. When tender, take out and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Delish!
