These are so easy to pop in the microwave and have a basket full for appetizers, TV snacks, or card clubs. The amounts are estimates depending on the size and number of commercial breadsticks you have available. Wrap bacon barber-pole style around the breadsticks. Cleanup is easy, because all the drippings will be absorbed into the paper towels. Serve at room temperature. Make plenty -- they are highly addictive!

Steps:
- After the brown sugar has air-dried a bit, add the chili seasoning and mix with fingers to blend well.
- Take a bacon rasher and dip it into the sugar, pressing sugar in lightly on both sides.
- Wrap, barber-pole style around a breadstick and place on a greased (I use olive oil) baking pan or cookie sheet.
- Repeat with as many bacon rashers as you have left.
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Roast until bacon is cooked and you can see sugar has caramelized- make sure it's cooked and not burnt- about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and CAREFULLY pick up breadstick and place on a large platter to harden (the breadsticks will be soft at this point but will harden as they cool).
- This must be done immediately, otherwise the caramelized sugar will set and it will be impossible to get your breadsticks out of the pan.

Steps:
- Combine 3/4 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 110 degrees F) and the sugar in a food processor. Sprinkle the yeast on the surface and set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and pulse once. Add the flour and salt; pulse to form a smooth dough, about 2 minutes. Brush a large bowl with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the bowl and form into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Lay out a large sheet of parchment paper and brush with olive oil. Transfer the dough to the parchment and pat into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside 10 minutes. (At this point, you can refrigerate the dough, covered, up to 12 hours.)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment; brush with olive oil. Cut the dough in half crosswise with a chef's knife or pizza cutter to make two 6-inch squares. Cut each half into 10 equal pieces.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll each piece of dough with your hands into a thin 12-to-14-inch-long rope. Transfer the ropes to the prepared baking sheets, arranging them about 1/2 inch apart.
- Whisk the egg white with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Brush the breadsticks lightly with the egg wash, then sprinkle with parmesan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; set aside 10 minutes.
- Uncover the breadsticks and bake until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Slide off the baking sheets and let cool on racks. (The breadsticks will crisp up as they cool; if they are still flexible, bake about 7 more minutes.) Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Cut bacon strips in half and lay them out on a cutting board. Break the bread sticks into 4-inch lengths. Sprinkle the bacon with brown sugar so that the bacon is completely coated. Press the sugar onto the bacon with your fingers. Continue to sprinkle sugar and press it on until no more sugar will adhere.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Set a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Roll the bacon strips, sugar side in, around the bread sticks in a spiral fashion. Be sure to begin as close to the bread stick edge as possible and roll very tightly. Place seam side down on the rack. Bake about 20 minutes, but watch carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn in the last minutes of cooking. Remove them from the oven and let rest for an hour on the rack to become firm.
BACON WRAPPED SESAME BREADSTICKS
A tasty and quick appetizer from Paula Deen. This simple recipe is quick to put on the table or to serve as a bread side. Very easy to season to one's taste and fun to experiment. Try some crushed red pepper in the cheese mixture, a tsp or two of dry ranch dressing mix, or a tsp or two of light brown sugar, or chives.

Tips:
- Puff pastry is the key to success: Pre-made puff pastry saves time and effort, ensuring a flaky and crispy breadstick. Thaw it properly to prevent tearing.
- Use good quality cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a rich and nutty flavor. Avoid pre-packaged shredded cheese for optimal taste and texture.
- Crisp bacon is best: Fully cooked and crispy bacon adds a smoky and savory element to the breadsticks. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the bacon to ensure even cooking.
- Seasoning is essential: Garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning enhance the flavors of the breadsticks. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- Bake until golden brown: Keep an eye on the breadsticks while baking to ensure they reach the desired level of crispiness without overcooking.
