1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed, and
    at room temperature
Pam vegetable spray
Garlic powder, to taste
Dried oregano leaf, rubbed to a
    fine powder between fingers

When dough is soft enough to knead, spray your fingers with Pam or oil and knead just until you can shape into cigar-size pieces (about 8 to 10). Place these 3 inches apart on Pam-sprayed cookie sheets. Let rise in a warm place until doubled - about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Holding Pam about 8 inches from sticks, lightly spray top of each and then dust with garlic powder and oregano. Bake at 375 degrees F about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack to serve within a day or two.

This recipe yields 8 to 10 bread sticks.
