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. Never makes bread before, would like to try your breadsticks. You're asking 31/2-4 Cups of flour.
    Do I measure 31/2 or 4 cups of flour & do I use unbleached all purpose flour & bread flour? .

  2. GS,
    Good luck with your breadsticks! This is a great recipe for a beginner.
    Start with 3 1/2 C flour, then add a bit more until the dough is the right texture. You'll know it is right when the dough scrapes the side of the bowl clean, or if you press your finger into the dough and it spring back a bit. I always use all purpose flour, but bread flour would work as well.
    Good Luck! Hope you love them!

  3. Question…since I am clueless about bread in my Kitchen Aid…do you use the bread hook or the paddle or the whisk for mixing for the 5 minutes? As I said, I am clueless, but these look amazing. Love your site!

  6. Made these last night…YUM! They smelled heavenly and tasted oh so good! I think I ate about 6 of them myself. The best part though is that they're so easy!
    I couldn't find Johnny's Garlic Bread Seasoning around here so I used the garlic bread seasoning recipe from Our Best Bites.
