3 cups all-purpose flour (start with 2 1/2 cups and add more as needed)
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
garlic salt, optional topping
powdered Parmesan cheese, optional topping
Italian seasoning, optional topping

How to make our Quick Homemade Breadsticks:

In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved.
Add in oil and flour and mix until a smooth dough forms and it’s no longer sticky.

Roll out into a 10×12″ rectangle.

Cut into strips about 3/4″ – 1″ wide.

Twist each strip once or twice and lay out on a greased baking sheet (I sprayed mine with non-stick cooking spray).

Some helpful tips for making these breadsticks:

*When using warm water for making bread, we found a rule of thumb is to use water that is just a little hotter than what you would use to wash your face. If it’s too hot for your face, it’s too hot for yeast. It should be around 110 degrees.

You could also use bread flour in place of all-purpose flour.

If you want to flavor the breadsticks a little more, add 1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder and 1/2 Tablespoon Italian seasoning.When cutting dough into strips, we found that using a pizza cutter made it super easy!

Great recipe! Love that it only took 35 minutes, although I didn’t wait for it to rise and it still turned out great. Super light & airy, and tasted great with lasagna and a salad.
De Anna says:

Jenna says:

Holy crow!! Amazing quick bread stick/roll recipe!! Followed instructions and they came out absolutely perfect. Family raved!! Thank you for this quick and delicious recipe.
Cassie B. says:

I only had dark brown sugar and they were very sweet tasting. It wasn't terrible and I was super happy with how well they turned out in terms of the ease of the recipe! I just wondered do y'all think that made it sweeter? Would white sugar or maybe only two tablespoons eliminate or at least lessen that sweetness?

The husband and daughters say these are the best breadsticks!!
