2 tbsp. yeast
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 c. flour
2 c. warm water

Add 1/2 cup warm water to yeast (in a 2-cup container) and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Mix flour, sugar and salt in a food process with chopping blade, then add yeast mixture and blend for 10 seconds. Add water until flour forms a ball. Place ball of dough in a warm greased mixing bowl. Cover with a damp towel and microwave at 20% power for 2 minutes. Allow to raise in microwave 30 minutes.

Roll dough onto a greased and floured cookie sheet. Allow to raise 30 minutes, then with a floured pizza cutter cut dough widthwise in 1" strips, then cut in half lengthwise. Bake at 320 degrees for 25 minutes. Brush with butter and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake 5 minutes longer. Recut strips and serve.
