Breadsticks - Mom's Recipe Box
I'm sharing this recipe for simple breadsticks today. This is another one from my mom's recipe box, that I have been slowly working my way through. When I ran across this one, I actually remembered my mom making these breadsticks a few times when I was growing up, and they were just as good when I made them as I remember them being when she made them.
They are very similar to my Fast and Easy Breadsticks. They just have a few different ingredients and the taste and texture are ever so slightly different. While I don't think I will ever abandon my fast and easy breadsticks recipe, this one definitely gives it a run for its money.
After the dough is mixed and kneaded and given a quick rise, you pat it into a rectangle.
Then cut the dough into strips. I use a pizza cutter to do this.
Give the strips of dough a twist and place them on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Put them right next to each other. That will help them stay twisted as well as help them rise in the oven.
Cover with a clean dishtowel and let them raise for 15 minutes. Then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with salt.
Bake to golden brown yumminess!
These breadsticks are so good. I hope you give them a try.
