I love garlic bread sticks served at Dominos which is mildly flavoured with garlic and other herbs. I love to have it with cheesy dip they serve with.So when I saw this bread sticks recipe I definitely wanted to give a try but to make it more healthy used homemade whole wheat mulitgrain flour.I love baking with whole wheat flour also I can eat it without having to worry about my waistline 🙂 After trying honey oats whole wheat bread I am now confident using wheat flour for my yeasted bakes.
I have not struggled with yeasted bakes so far(*touching wood*) except for once or twice but the waiting time for the dough to raise makes me tired…so I always held bake myself for trying yeasted bakes.Thank you so much Padmaja for introducing to me to instant yeast and sharing with me, it works wonders I say 🙂
I served it with sweet corn veg clear soup and a low fat yogurt dip.
Update : I tried the same recipe with half of maida and wheat flour here and it turned out great too.
Bread Sticks Recipe
Preparation Time:2 hrs | Cooking Time : 30 mins | Makes:14 bread sticks
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: World
For the bread:
Wheat Flour / Multigrain Flour – 1 and 1/2 cups
Instant Yeast – 1 and 1/4 tsp
Luke warm water – 3/4 to 1 cup
Salt – to taste
Olive Oil – 3 tbsp + extra for brushing
Oregano – 1/4 tsp
Method:
- Take whole wheat flour,salt,yeast in a mixing bowl .Add olive oil, now start adding luke warm water little by little.Mix well form a smooth pliable dough.Set aside to rest, keep it in a warm place for an hr undisturbed.
- When u check after an hr, the dough would have become almost doubled.Now punch it down incase for any air bubbles.Grease a pan with little oil and flour and keep it ready.Scoop the batter into the prepared pan about 1/4 inch thickness, spread it nearing to the edges.Brush it with olive oil.
- Sprinkle oregano and make strips using a pizza cutter.
- Preheat the oven for 200 deg C for 10 mins.Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200 Degree C for 15-20 mins or until the top starts browning depending on how soft / crisp you want your bread sticks to be.When it is still warm break the strips.
Serve warm with a sip or hot soup.
My Notes:
- Make sure you mark lines before you start baking itself so that its easy to break into pieces after its baked.
- The dough rising time depend s purely on the yeast variety and ur locations climatic conditions.So after checking after 1 hr if it has not doubled then set it to rise for one more hr or so.
- You can even try with half and half of whole heat flour and maida or with just maida alone.
- I used homemade multigrain wheat flour.
- If you want it more crisp then spread the batter very thin.I wanted mine to have the bread texture so spread it a bit thick.
- You can add any topping of your choice like garlic paste,or any spice powders of your liking.You can even use any pizza seasoning.
- Brushing the top with oil gives nice browning.
- I used instant yeast so didn’t wait for proofing as I knew mine was active.If you are using active dry yeast proof it first by adding to 1/4 cup warm water and waiting for it to bubble then use it.

Hi Sharmi , I tried this recipe today . It came out well but I felt the inner part didn't get cooked properly while outer crust was crisp enough..can u please tell me what I could for the same..
This sounds strange…..Did you try baking for few mins extra?
What brand of instant yeast and dry yeast do you recommend please. I stay in Chennai.
Falcon yeast got from whole sale shop
hi sharmi how much active dry yeast we should use in place of instant yeast here?
Hi Sharmilee – great pictures and the recipe looks very tempting. With regards to point no.1 when you say 'Mix well form a smooth pliable dough' how long should we knead the dough with hand for any bread recipe ?
Dont go by the time just knead it like chapathi dough
