This is another recipe from Heather Buck, one of the greatest cooks I know. If you're not accustomed to working with yeast bread recipes, don't be intimidated! Keep in mind that you don't need a mixer to make bread. Give it a try and you'll find that it's not that bad...and the results are well worth it!
1 c. scalded milk
1 c. cold water
1 T. yeast
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 T. salt
1/2 c. potato flakes
1/4 c. shortening
1 egg
5 c. flour
Add first 8 ingredients to mixer. Mix well; let stand for 10 minutes. Start mixer again and add flour 1 cup at a time; mix well. Transfer to a greased bowl, grease top of dough, cover, and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
Melt 1/4 c. butter in a jelly roll pan. Punch the dough down once and form into breadsticks (roll out a bit of dough like a play-doh snake). Place breadsticks in melted butter and turn to coat. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings, if desired (parmesan, parsley, sesame seeds, paprika, etc.). Let rise again until double. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, then 350 for 5 minutes.

Sounds yummy! I could just Google it...but, how do you scald milk? Just heat it to boiling?
I've always heated it to the point just before boiling. Make sure to stir frequently so that it doesn't scorch the bottom of the pan.
