Birdhouse Bread

Dried rosemary and thyme give a tasty herb flavor and a rustic outdoor appearance to this buttery snack bread that bakes in mere minutes.

6 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

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.
