"These are abso-tively, posso-lutely delicious!!"

1 T dry yeast
1 1/3 cups warm water
1 T honey
1 tsp salt
3 T vegetable oil
1 egg
3 to 3 1/2 cups flour
1 egg white, slightly beaten (if desired)
Coarse salt, sesame seeds, Parmesan and seasoning

Dissolve yeast in warm water with honey. Stir in salt, oil and egg. Stir in flour gradually until soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in warm place until double, 30-40 minutes.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Knead dough in the bowl and add flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Divide the dough into four balls, then each ball into six smaller ones. Roll each ball between your hands to make a rope. Put onto greased cookie sheet. Brush with egg white and top with various toppings if/as desired. Bake until crust is deep golden brown, about 14-16 minutes.

If not topped, rub a stick of butter over the top right after taking out of oven.
