The Best Homemade Breadsticks

Recipe Description

I have recently perfected The Best Homemade Breadsticks recipe and I am delighted to share it with you today. The best thing about this recipe? You can prepare and cook the breadsticks in under an hour. I usually use bread flour for this recipe, but all-purpose flour works really well too.

Make dough by mixing water, yeast, sugar and salt with flour. I usually use my stand mixer, but this is also easy to mix by hand in a large bowl. Mix until the dough comes easily away from the sides of the bowl and it is soft and smooth and doesn’t stick to your fingers. Once the dough has rested, shape the breadsticks. Rest again before baking until golden on top. Delicious!

To make The Best Homemade Breadsticks, you will need the following ingredients:
