Steps:

• Add the warm water to a large bowl with the melted butter, sugar and yeast. Stir to help the yeast dissolve and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy on top.
• Add in the flour and salt (optional) to the yeast mixture. Use a mixing spoon to incorporate the wet and dry ingredients until it comes together into a sticky ball.
• Cover the dough with a towel and place in a warm part of your kitchen. Let rise for 1½ hours, or until it doubles in size.
• Remove the risen dough from the bowl and knead on the counter with extra flour until the dough becomes smooth on the surface and no longer sticky.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
• With a rolling pin, flatten the dough until it's about a 7x12 inch (18x30 cm) rectangle, and slice into 12 strips. If you don't have a rolling pin, you can cut the dough into 12 portions and roll each into 7 inch (18 cm) logs with your hands.
• Place the dough on parchment paper-lined baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Brush melted butter and sprinkle garlic salt on the dough.
• Bake the breadsticks for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• When the breadsticks come out of the oven, serve immediately, or cool and store in the freezer for up to 6 months to eat at a later date.
• Enjoy!

KLADDKAKA (EASY SWEDISH STICKY CHOCOLATE CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 8-inch deep round cake pan, greased and lined with baking parchment.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until the mixture is light, fluffy and pale.
• Sift all the dry ingredients into the egg and sugar mixture. Fold in until everything is incorporated, then fold in the melted butter.
• Pour into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for around 10-15 minutes. The exact time can vary, so keep an eye on the cake. A perfect kladdkaka is very, very soft in the middle, but not runny once it has cooled-but almost runny. The cake will not rise, but it will puff up slightly during baking.
• If you press down gently on the cake, the crust should need a bit of pressure to crack. When this happens, the cake is done. Leave to cool in the pan.
• Serve with whipped cream, dusted with cocoa powder.

SWEDISH BUTTER CRISPS

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, about 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
