Breadsticks for the Feast of St. John Bosco

The following breadstick recipe was submitted by Erin Yerian, for today's feast of St. John Bosco. It would make a great addition to an Italian dinner in his honor.  Thank you Erin!

Here is our St. John Bosco treat for the day. We had the idea from the story of St. John Bosco and the dog Grigio.   (You can read the story, taken from the book All About the Angels by Fr. Paul O'Sullivan, here:  Saint John Bosco and the Gray Dog)

We just shaped extra pizza dough into bone shapes and baked according to the recipe. My bread machine pizza dough recipe is as follows:

3/4 t. salt
3 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. oat bran
2 t. yeast
1 3/8 c. water
3 T. olive oil
dash honey

Shape into pizza or breadsticks (bones) as desired and bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Pin It
