My husband is definitely not a foodie and can be hard to please, but he praises these breadsticks every time they are served. That’s proof, in my opinion, that this recipe is a success and I have to agree with him, these breadsticks are pretty amazing.
I love this recipe because it uses the bread machine to mix the dough and complete the first rise. That means all you need to do after that is shape the dough into sticks and let them rise once more before going into the oven.
I’m a big bread fan and don’t like it when bread is dry or crumbly, but I can assure you that these breadsticks are neither of those things. They are light, fluffy, buttery and full of amazing yeasty flavor. I know you’ll love this recipe and want to make it again and again.
