Homemade Breadsticks
Old-Fashioned Breads
Prep time:
50 minutesBake time :
15-20 minutes“Grandma always impressed us with these homemade breadsticks. I loved when she twisted them! ”
Ingredients
Serves 18
- 1 box (16-ounce) hot roll mix
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon each poppy, caraway and sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon dry yeast
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the bread mix and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup hot water, butter and egg until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
2
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rest for 5 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down the dough and knead gently.
3
Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch-long rope. For a fancier effect, twist ropes around a wooden spoon handle to shape.
4
Arrange the dough on 2 greased baking sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until almost double in size, 20–30 minutes. Uncover and brush with water.
5
Sprinkle with Parmesan or a combination of seeds. Bake the breadsticks until golden, 15–20 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

For a flavor change, use shredded Cheddar cheese instead of the Parmesan cheese for the topping

Serving Suggestion
Create butter curls to go along with the breadsticks. Run a vegetable peeler or crinkle cutter along a stick of butter.
