This is one of my very best recipes. These breadsticks can be made from scratch in about 40 minutes, from start to finish. They are light and delicious with any kind of Italian dish, or with soup. This recipe makes one cookie sheet, or about 36 small 2×5 inch breadsticks. It works great in a Kitchen Aid. If you are going to use a Bosch you’ll need to double the recipe.
Let me show you how to make it happen…
 


1. Mix the water, sugar and yeast together in a measuring cup or in the bottom of your mixer. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

3. Melt the butter and pour half of it into a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet).

4. Place the dough in the center of the pan. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Letting the dough rest makes it MUCH easier to shape.

5. Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges. Doing all of the spreading and cutting of these bread sticks, in the pan makes cleaning up your counter so much easier!

6. Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough. Spread it around with your hands. Sprinkle the Johnny’s Garlic Seasoning all over the dough, and then the Parmesan cheese.

7. With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height wise rows.

8. Put the pan into a 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes. The breadsticks should rise about 1 inch.
9. Turn you oven up to 350 and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. When they come out of the oven let them sit and rest again for about 5 minutes. Then redefine your cutting lines with the pizza cutter.

11. I use a pair of cooking scissors to cut the edges where the pizza cutter can’t reach.
These Quick and Easy Breadsticks go wonderfully with 
Fabulous Red Pizza Sauce. You can put it together in a jiffy. 

That’s it! They are wonderful. I have played around with a variety of things that can be put on the top. I will post those recipes in the days to come!  Johnny’s Garlic Spread seasoning is one in a million. I buy it at Costco, and keep several in my long term food storage. It’s really great to have on hand. ENJOY!

  1. I'll have to try these breadsticks! I made some the other day, but they weren't as soft as I would have liked them to be…these look like they would melt in your mouth!!

  2. I love your site, your recipes, your pictures. Your children are adorable. I, too, love butter not margarine. I have some health issues, but LOVE cookies, etc., so I am one person who is grateful to use pureed beans in recipes so I can indulge my sweet tooth. You are so lucky to be able to put real butter in your recipes.

  3. I just discovered your website last week when looking for a recipe for breadsticks. (They were delicious by the way!) I have recently started baking all my own bread, muffins, snacks, etc. I noticed how many of your recipes call for large amounts of flour to make many loaves of bread. I feel like baking would be easier if it took me less time to measure out all the flour! What do you use to store your flour? I use a glass canister for sugar, but couldn't find one large enough for flour, so I'm just scooping out of the bag it comes in and making a huge mess of my kitchen in the process! Your advice? Thanks!!

  4. Thanks for your question!
    I do find myself in a mess of flour quite regularly!
    I keep my flour in a large canister inside a really deep drawer. I keep all of my basic baking supplies in the same drawer. I do have to refill the flour container pretty regularly, as it only holds about 15 cups. It seems I am always refilling it, however it does make less mess than scooping the flour out of the large sack. Hope this helps! I'm glad you liked the breadsticks. They get made a lot around here, I can tell you that.
    Have a great day!
