Birdhouse Bread Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.
  • Yield: 6 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in bouillon and garlic powder. Remove from the heat; let stand until bouillon is dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, unroll breadsticks and separate into 12 sticks. Place eight sticks lengthwise side by side on a greased baking sheet. Place another breadstick along the bottom of the house, stretching dough as needed. To create the entrance, move two center sticks so they extend 2 in. above the other sticks.
  • To form the roof, place two of the remaining sticks on top of the house so they extend about 1 in. beyond the sides. Cut remaining breadsticks as needed to fill spaces beneath the roof. Gently pinch edges of breadsticks together to seal seams. Brush with the butter mixture; sprinkle with rosemary and thyme.
  • Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before carefully transferring to a serving platter. Yield: 6 servings.
