  • Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt in large bowl. Stir in oil.
  • Add water (1 1/4 cups) and combine well until well blended (2 minutes with an electric mixer or a bit longer by hand).
  • Beat (or stir in) in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead for one minute or until smooth. Divide dough in half.
  • Working with one half at a time, Roll one half into a 10-inch log.
  • Cut log into 1-inch pieces. Cut each piece in half. Roll each piece into a 10-inch stick. Arrange on foil covered cookie sheets.
  • Repeat with remaining dough (you should get about 40 bread sticks) Let rise for 20-30 minutes or until puffy.
  • Preheat oven to 300-degrees F.
  • Prepare glaze by beating egg white with 1 tablespoon water. Brush bread sticks with glaze and then sprinkle with garlic salt (or if you prefer coarse salt).
  • Bake for 45- 50 minutes or until bread sticks are golden brown.

  1. Made the whole batch of this great bread sticks, then shared some of them with a friend who also loves 'em! I made half of them with garlic & half with coarser salt, & although we liked them both ways, I'm leaning a bit more toward those with garlic! I'll definitely be making these again & again! A great keeper of a recipe, for sure! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag, under the 24-hour rule!]
     
  2. These were just okay for me. I massively scaled down the recipe to make just a few breadsticks. They were alot smaller than I expected. Simple if I'm in a pinch, but not sure I would make again.
     
  3. Quick and easy to make. And you can serve them to almost everything. I followed the recipe without any problems. The breadsticks were crunchy as I like them. A fantastic snack. Thanks for posting such a great breadstick recipe, which can be widely used.
     
  4. These are wonderful. I made these with your fried chicken recipe #63339 last night. My family loved both. They have requested these again for dinner tonight. My sticks were done in 30 minutes but I put a butter garlic mixture on them after 25 minutes in the oven. So, maybe the butter browned them faster. Anyway will be using this recipe alot. Thanks.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
