Hi everyone!

I had some breadsticks at a pizza place called "Il Forno's" in Frederick, MD. The bread sticks had a soft, slightly chewy crust and a soft moist crumb inside. Later I sent an e-mail to the restaurant asking for the recipe, but I never received a reply. The only info I can find on deep fried bread sticks is a chinese bread recipe called "You tiao," but I believe this bread would be too moist from the oil.

Before I start dropping pizza dough into oil, can anyone point me in the right direction as to the best way to replicate these bread sticks? Sorry that I don't have anymore information, but if you live near Frederick, MD, check out the restaurant. The pizza is cooked in a wood fired brick oven and is delicious and maybe you could smuggle some breadsticks out and reverse engineer them for me! :) . I live in Japan and can't make it back for a few years :(

Thanks!
