Notes

  • 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.
