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
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!

Can you freeze these I’m one person if cook them first are can you freeze the dough
Very delicious, great recipe!!! Thank you!!!
Its AMAZING i have tried various recipes and this is by far the best will he useing this from now on!
these were. y far the easiest, best recipe!!! they turned out wonderful. I also will be making it as a pizza dough soon as well.
I was just curious, can I not cut them and instead just roll them into Small balls then plop it into a bread maker and cook it that was so it comes out like a big loaf that can be pulled apart?
I made this into a really small batch for just my husband and myself they were really good. Thank you for posting the recipe I made them as is.
I was a total skeptic that these 1) would only take 40 minutes from start to finish and 2) were as good as they looked in the photos. WOWOWOW was I proven wrong! Amazing fluffy delicious pillows of buttery crunch bottom bread! Thank you for sharing your genius!!!!
Jenny,
So happy to hear this recipe worked out for you. Thanks for letting me know..
All my best,

Ya’lll this is so good!! I followed your recipe to a T except adding Italian seasoning with rosemary and Monterey Jack cheese because I was out of Parmesan or mozzarella!! We were like this would make some good pizza as well!! It really reminded me of a focaccia! I wished you saw my picky daughter’s eyes go all bug eyed when she had her first bite!! We reply really enjoyed it! I wished I could share a picture!!
So, I did it!! I turned this into a pizza!! Made it just like you suggested. Except I didn’t precut the dough. But, I added sausage gravy ,scrambled eggs, chopped sausage links and cheese. So so so good!!!! I love the crunchy buttery crust!!
We love these quick, easy and adjustable breadsticks! thank you so much! we have made them several times, we have used oil when out of butter and no cheese and still tastes great, we also just use whatever seasoning we have on hand. Our little ones have even helped make them and had a blast.
Hi Corri,
This makes me so happy to hear, especially that your little ones have enjoyed helping as well. It is one of those great, classic recipes that is hard to ruin. Thanks so much for your comment. It made my day. 🙂
Much love to you and your family,

I shaped the dough on the counter to the size of our baking sheet. Then I cut them into strips crosswise and tied each end of each strip into a knot to mimic rawhide dog chews. Followed the rest of the recipe as written, though it did take them about 17 minutes to bake because of the knots. I decided an hour before our party that I wanted to make bread and this recipe delivered. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Eloen,
So happy to hear it! Thanks for letting me know.
