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!

40 minutes? How can I not give these a try?
Can these be frozen/reheated? Otherwise we'd probably eat the whole batch in one sitting. They look wonderful!
Nice site by the way. I'll have to add you to my Google Reader. 🙂
Jen,
They are not as good the second day, however I still reheat them a bit in the microwave and give them to my kids for lunch. Haven't heard any complaints. However, they are to die for hot out of the oven. We usually send some around to neighbors. Good luck! Let me know how they turn out!

Do you use any specific type of yeast? I find that I have trouble with rising dough, it never seems to! Also, do you have any advice for making these without a kitchen aid?
These look delicious, better than delivery (:
Anonymous,
You could use Active Dry Yeast or Instant Yeast. You'll want to be sure that the temperature of your water really is warm. Also, putting the pan of breadsticks in a warm oven to rise helps a lot as well.
If you are going to make these by hand, you'll need to knead them on your counter for at least 5 minutes, then lest the dough rest for about 15 minutes, knead again for just a minute or so and then you should be ready to get them in the pan. Good Luck!

Only 40 minutes?? Love it!
I made these a couple days ago & they were a HUGE hit!! I can't believe how easy they were. I love your blog! I also made you chicken noodle soup, so yummy. I would like to post them on my blog and link back to you! Thanks so much for sharing all your great recipes!
Amy,
I'm glad they turned out for you!
Let me know when you post them and I'll come and have a look!

I am new to your blog and made these today and they turned out wonderful! Thank you so much! Keep those recipes coming!
When you say jelly roll pan do mean just a cookie sheet and not actually a true 10 1/2 x 15 1/2 inch jelly roll pan? I made the sugar cookie bars in a ture jelly roll pan and had to cook them an extra 10 minutes becase they were so thick. I want to try these but just was wondering what the pan size was. Thanks for your help!!
