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!

Hi,
thinking about making these for an after school snack, but dont hav a kitchen aide, can you use a regular blender or food processor with a blade? also no butter can I use oil…do you have any ideas on your blog for after school snacks, just came across this today.
Thank you,
Josee
Thanks for the interesting itmfroanion. I have always wanted to buy a bread machine. I read many of the bread machine reviews and must say I do not know which bread machine to purchase. Which bread machine is the best? Which bread machine has the best reviews? Which bread Machine has the best consumer ranking and no complaints? Thanks so much for your help.
this is the first time i attempted making breadsticks (as my bf and i love pizza hut's sticks) and they turned out great!!! i tried making pizza and bread before and both times they've turned out too doughy but this recipe i followed to a “t” and was delicious!! thanks so much for sharing. now i have a go-to for breadsticks!

I have a question about the breadsticks…
Im throwing my fiance a bday party this weekend and am making these. I didn't want to wait until the last minute to do it so i was wondering if i could make the dough, and let it sit for a couple hours rather than just 5 minutes.
Or even possible freeze it?
I still want them to taste fresh so just let me know what would be best. okay thanks!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your question, and I'm so glad you dropped by to ask it. This is what I know, the dough for this particular recipe doesn't do well if it's left to sit for a while. It has a lot of yeast in it (thus the “quick” part). The final product ends up tasting really yeast-ie and not great at all. I have tried making start to finish several hours in advance, letting them cool on a wire rack and then storing them in an airtight container until I need them. They aren't as good as they are fresh from the oven, but they still taste quite good.
Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

I've had these bookmarked for so long, I finally made them tonight. So good! Super easy, and super delicious. It's a definite keeper!!
Made these tonight, didn't have Johnny's garlic seasoning but I just used the recipe on https://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/04/garlic-bread-seasoning/ and gosh.. these breadsticks are so delicious and perfect and fast and easy. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Hi Jamie! I found your blog several weeks ago and I have to say I love it! We now use this recipe every time we eat pasta (about once a week). We LOVE them!! Thank you for saving us from the bread sticks “out of a can”. My new favorite spaghetti sauce is your Hearty Spaghetti Sauce from your March Menu Plan. Sooo good!
Thank you so much for this recipe! I just made this for dinner today, I made them with lasagna roll-ups! They were super delicious and my son loved them! I didn't have parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese, so I just used a fiesta blend cheese! It worked very wonderful still! ๐
