1 pkg. dry yeast
2/3 c. warm water (105-115 degrees)
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. cooking oil
2 - 2 1/2 c. flour
1 egg white
1 tbsp. water
Coarse salt or sesame seeds

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, oil and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.

Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Shape dough into a roll 10 inches long. Cut into 36 equal parts. Roll each part into ropes 8 inches long.

Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Brush ropes with oil. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg white with water and brush over ropes. Sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seeds. Bake 20-25 minutes.
