I've got a sourdough starter, and I'm thinking
about making something with it. I'm currently
thinking about breadsticks or pretzels. There's
a bakery in Palo Alto called Il Fornaio that makes
some very nice cheese breadsticks, but they're not
sourdough. They are twisted, with a thick stripe
of cheese intertwined with the bread. They are
very crunchy and rich. I suspect the bread part
may be puff pastry.

I'm not going to make anything quite like those
wonderful breadsticks, and I'm determined to use
this sourdough starter I've been maintaining for
the last couple of weeks. Anyone know of a good
recipe for cheesy sourdough breadsticks? Google
comes up with lots of recipes, but I want one
that somebody here has tried and knows works well.
I'd like a good amount of cheese in or on it, not
just some decoration.

I'd consider pretzels as an alternative. I'm
invited to a dinner party on Saturday, so I'd
make this for that.

I'm still open to other possibilities, like maybe
rolls or other small items that would go well with
other dinner food. I'd like something more
interesting than plain bread or bread decorated
with seeds. I'd also like it to be vegetarian.
Something with cheese seems like a good idea,
but alternatives like pesto or mushrooms would
also be a possibility.
