Onion & Poppy Seed Breadsticks

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.

Divide dough into 16 equal pieces and roll each into a 12- to 14-inch-long breadstick on a lightly floured surface (see Tip). Place the breadsticks at least 1/2 inch apart on the baking sheets. Brush with oil and sprinkle with onion powder and poppy seeds, pressing if necessary to help it stick.

Bake the breadsticks on the upper and lower racks, switching the pans halfway through, until lightly brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
