    About Breadsticks

    Breadsticks are a popular snack because they are light, crunchy on the outside, and have a soft inside. If you make them thick, they turn out soft and airy. If you roll them more thin, they bake up crispy and crunchy. The olive oil helps keep them soft, and herbs add a nice aroma and flavor to the dish.

    You can easily customize this recipe to suit your taste. You can try adding garlic, chili flakes, or a little cheese on top before baking. Whether you like them soft or crispy, breadsticks are tasty and easy to make. It’s a simple recipe that’s fun to make. You will try it again and again.

    You can also adjust the spice level according to your taste preference. These breadsticks pair well with soups, salads, cheese platters, and dips. These treats are perfect for serving at parties or enjoying as a quick snack. Loved by people of all ages, kids love the shape and mild flavor, while adults enjoy their flavor and rich taste.

    I’ve always loved soft, flavorful breadsticks, but making them at home seemed hard. After trying this recipe with whole wheat flour and instant yeast, I was surprised how easy and tasty they turned out. Now, homemade breadsticks are my go-to snack as both my kids just love it.

    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.

    Why This Recipe Works

    • This recipe is made with simple, easy-to-find ingredients.
    • Whole wheat or multigrain flour adds a healthy twist.
    • It can be easily customized with herbs and spices.
    • You can bake them as soft or crispy, depending on how thick you roll the dough.
    • It’s perfect as a quick snack or appetizer any time.

    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.

    Serving and Storage

    Serve breadsticks warm with butter, cheese, or soup. They’re best fresh but also stay good for a few days in an airtight container.

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

    FAQS

    1.Can I use all-purpose flour instead of wheat?

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

    2.What if my dough doesn’t rise?

    Make sure your yeast is fresh and the water was warm enough. Yeast needs to be active for breads to rise and bake perfectly.

    3.Can I add other flavors?

    Definitely! Garlic, chili flakes, or sesame seeds are all great additions.

    4.How thick should I spread the dough?

    Around 1/4 inch works well for soft breadsticks. Go thinner if you want more crunch.

    5.Can I make gluten-free breadsticks?

    Yes, just use a gluten-free flour blend and possibly an extra binding agent for better texture.

        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 ?
