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!]

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.

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.

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.
