16 bread sticks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/4 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 pound prepared bread dough
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Pour the oil into a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil; set aside.

Divide the dough into 16 pieces. With lightly floured hands, roll each piece of dough into a rope about 12 inches long. Dip each rope in the oil then into the cheese mixture, coating evenly. Gently twist each rope several times to create a spiraled look then lay the bread sticks about 2 inches apart on 2 nonstick baking sheets.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
