These were a nice change from biscuits or rolls. The pepper gave them a little spice (I used 1/2 tsp), but I feel like they were missing a little something. I did rub butter over the tops while they were warm and that added some flavor. This is a good, easy recipe for breadsticks and I'd like to try them again with some variations. Thanks!Reply
