RANCH CORNBREAD
While this is delicious in the winter when served with a bowl of any kind of bean soup or chili, it is equally good served with a fresh fruit salad in the summer. Served hot from the oven, with wonderful crusty edges, it is soooo good! The recipe came from a Southern Heritage bread cookbook that I have had for about thirty years.

KICKED UP CHEESY RANCH BREADSTICKS #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry Need an easy appetizer for your next party? Want to impress your guests? These breadsticks are just what you're looking for! Simple to make, the dip can be prepared ahead of time and you can bake the breadsticks as needed. (You may make your dough of course...) Don't forget to poke a few holes in your crust, to prevent large air pockets. If you like spicy food, you can add more cayenne (I used 1/2 tsp. for the 'bread spices', as we like it HOT!) If you don't have a pizza stone, these can be baked on a pizza pan. The yield is a guess - yours may be different, depending on the width you cut your 'strips'. **Dry ingredients listed in parentheses are mixed into yogurt, to make dip**

- In a small bowl, mix 1 1/2 tablespoons of HVR dry dip mix with 3 T. of parmesan cheese, 1/4 t. cayenne, 1/2 t. dill, 1/2 t. crushed red pepper, 1/2 t. garlic powder and 1 T chopped chives; set aside. (These are your 'reserved' spices).
- In a small bowl, mix yogurt with 1 1/2 T. HVR dry dip mix with 2 T. parmesan cheese, 1/4 t. cayenne pepper, 1/4 t. dill, 1/4 t. crushed red pepper, 1/4 t. garlic powder and 1 t. chopped chives. (
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a pizza pan; press out the dough to fit the size of the pan.

- Brush olive oil over pizza crust and then sprinkle reserved spices all over dough.
- Move your parchment to the pizza stone in the oven (or use a peel, if you have one.).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes - keep a watch, as you don't want them to burn!
- Remove from oven - let cool for a couple of minutes, slice in half and then run your pizza cutter the other way, making 3/4 - 1 inch strips.
- Serve with your spicy dipping sauce! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a large skillet: This will ensure that the cornbread has enough room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use fresh or frozen corn: Canned corn can be used, but fresh or frozen corn will give the cornbread a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: The cheese is what makes this cornbread so delicious. Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
- Cook the cornbread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that the cornbread is cooked through and has a crispy crust.
