very nice, I used brown sugar instead of white sugar, gives the dough a bit more of a sweet taste. also instead of 1 tbs garlic because my husband isnt a huge fan I just used one clove and a dash of Mrs dash garlic plus seasoning. Very good, will make it again

These were fantastic! The best bread sticks I've ever made and I can't wait to make them again. Great recipe! Thank you! Cathy :)

These were very good and smelled delicious while they were baking. I somehow missed out the topping part so I am sure they would be even better if I had done that. I will make these again.

Hei, I didn´t have fresh rosemary :( But still they came out great. Children loved these and so did I. Thank you!

Really nice. I added 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper and rolled it into a single chubby baguette after the first rise, then let it double again before baking it (with a dish of water and a couple coatings of water) for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees F. Rubbed it with butter when it came out of the oven. Texture was divine.
