30 Minute Breadsticks/Deep Dish Pizza

This is from the EverydayFoodStorage.net site.  Love that place!

2 1/2 c. med-hot water
5 t SAF or 2 T regular yeast
2 T sugar
3 T oil
1 t salt
6 c. flour
1 cube butter

Pour water into your mixing bowl and sprinkle yeast on top.  Allow to dissolve and get a bit frothy.
Put butter (I have halved the butter when we make pizza and it's great!) on a baking sheet in your preheating oven to melt - 400F.  (Keep an eye on this so it doesn't burn!)
Add sugar, salt and oil to your mixing bowl.  Gradually add flour as you mix the dough.
Dump dough into your baking sheet and, using your hands, spread it out to fill the pan.  Make sure the yummy butter gets on top and spread it around.
Let the dough rise for about 10 min or till it's almost doubled (the warm butter and pan you just took from the oven helps this to rise quickly).
For breadsticks, sprinkle generously with garlic salt, parmesan cheese, etc.
Cook 10-12 minutes.  For breadsticks cut into strips (I cut once to halve the length of the long side and then just cut into ~1.5" strips.  
For pizza, cook for ~10 minutes then put on sauce and toppings and return to oven to melt cheese.  (I also like to broil on low for 3-4 minutes to brown the cheese on my pizza).
