Breadsticks

We are having frozen pizza tonight, but DH and I both wanted pizza Hut. We are resisting for multiple reasons. Therefore, I took it upon myself to make some breadsticks. I was searching for a good recipe that wouldn't take too long because I was hungry and I found this one on recipezaar.com
