Ingredients

  • 6 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham
  • 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Cut each slice of prosciutto into 4 thin strips. Unroll dough; separate into breadsticks. Top each with 2 strips prosciutto, pressing gently to adhere. Twist each breadstick; place on ungreased baking sheet, pressing ends down firmly. Brush with beaten egg.
  2. Combine fennel and pepper; sprinkle over breadsticks. Bake 10-13 minutes or until golden brown.
