Breadsticks Ingredients

• Wheat flour / Multigrain atta – Adds a wholesome, nutty texture and makes the breadsticks more nutritious than those made with maida or plain flour.
• Instant yeast – Helps the dough rise and become soft and airy. (If using active dry yeast, make sure to proof it first before adding it the flour.)
• Olive oil – Adds moisture and richness to the dough, keeping the breadsticks soft inside. Also brushed on top for that golden, crispy finish.
• Lukewarm water – Activates the yeast and brings the dough together, creating a smooth texture that’s easy to handle. 
• Oregano – Adds a fragrant, herb flavor to the breadsticks when sprinkled before baking.

Expert Tips

• Dough rising – Let the dough rise in a warm spot. If it hasn’t doubled in size after an hour, give it more time. A good rise gives softer, airy and lighter breadsticks.
• Thickness – Roll the dough thinner for crispy sticks, thicker for softer ones. The rolling controls the texture.
• Shaping tip – Mark line on the the dough before baking to make snapping it into sticks easier.
• Toppings – You can try chopped garlic or pizza seasoning before baking for an extra flavor.
• Proof yeast – If using active dry yeast, mix it in warm water and let it bubble before adding. This step is key for proper rising.
• Baking – Brushing olive oil before baking helps get that golden color and crispy surface.

To store, let them cool completely and keep in a sealed box. You can reheat them in the oven to bring back the crispiness.

Yes, you can use maida or even mix it with wheat flour for softer breadsticks.
