Herbed Breadsticks

Herbed Breadsticks
Makes 12
Most frozen bread dough comes in packages of 3 loaves; our favorite brand is Rhodes. These breadsticks can be served with additional extra-virgin olive oil for dipping. In step 3, be careful to not cut all the way through the dough. See step by step.
1/4 cup  extra-virgin olive oil 
Flour for dusting work surface 
1 (16-ounce) loaf  frozen bread dough , thawed
1/4 teaspoon  salt 
1/4 teaspoon  pepper 
1 teaspoon  minced fresh rosemary 
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil.
2. On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 12 by 6-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Brush dough with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
3. With long side of dough facing you, use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut halfway through dough at 1-inch intervals. Bake until golden brown, rotating pan halfway through baking, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Pull apart and serve.
