Karen's Notes:

My family loves this bread which goes well with any Italian dish and as an added plus the dough makes a great pizza crust.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast sugar and salt. Add water and oil to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.

While dough is rising combine the remaining ingredient EXCEPT for mozzarella cheese.

Punch dough down; place on a greased 12-inch pizza pan and pat into a 12-inch circle. Brush with salad dressing and sprinkle seasoning mixture mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into sticks and serve warm.
