These breadsticks are AMAZING! I remember the first time my friend Robin brought them over for dinner! I got the recipe from her THAT night and I’ve been making them ever since. My friend Heather won’t even let me in the door of her house unless I bring a batch with me!
The best part is that they are FAST and easy to make, like under an hour! So those nights when I’m like, crap what am I going to make for dinner, I know that I can throw these together fast and the kids will be happy no matter what else I make!
We are a dipping family, we like to dip foods, like grilled cheese in soup, fries in frosty’s, etc… These breadsticks are perfect for dipping. My favorite is my Alfredo Sauce, in fact I usually make a double batch when I make Fettuccine Alfredo and the next day for breakfast, lunch and snack I enjoy just breadstick dipped in warmed sauce!
You can top the breadsticks with any topping you want, as much or as little, but I always top with garlic salt and parmesan, I love when the cheese get’s crusty and crispy, mmmmm. These are my favorites with lasagna, manicotti, and a lot of my soups.
The funny part is I realized recently that I’ve shared a lot of my specialty recipes, but there are so many of the basic/make-all-the-time recipes that I never take the time to photograph and share with you guys. I’m trying to be better about that!
Recently I made these breadsticks along with my Alfredo sauce in a live cooking show! You can see just how easy these are to make, hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
These breadsticks are light and airy and completely delicious. I can’t say enough how good they are and how much we all love them. Even my husband, who isn’t a big bread fan, LOVES these! I think I’m going to have to start making a triple batch because everyone eats so many of these and I want some leftovers the next day.

My favorite side will always be carbs, what about you? I think breads belongs at every meal no matter what your serving and these are fast and easy enough that you can always add them even last minute! Plus they make great bribery to get your kids to eat the rest of the meal; “Want another breadstick? eat 6 more bites of dinner”, works most of the time!

Hi Ashlee! Loved meeting you at the Duck family reunion, and am enjoying your posts.
What kind of yeast do you use in these breadsticks?
Ashlee
It was great meeting you too! and it’s just regular active dry yeast, not quick rise.
Amber
These look amazing and simple! Can’t wait to try this recipe.
Ashlee
Seriously SO simple, I make them at least once a week, I’m teaching my 13 yo to make them so it will be her thing every week!
Sara
I just made these! I halved the recipe and it was perfect for my family of 5. They were amazing, definitely going on the repeats list.
Ashlee
HA and I double them for my family of 7! I’m so glad you liked them.

Hi,
Just want to clarify the point how to use the melted butter. It’s not making sense to me.
Also can I use wholemeal flour?
Thanks
Manfred
Ashlee
your rolling the dough in the melted butter – it warms it and helps is rise, holds the parmesean, gives the breadsticks a good crust and tastes great! Messing with the flour will mess with the chemistry of the breadsticks, so yes… BUT you’ll probably have to mess with other measurements. I personally don’t use wholemeal flour cause it doesn’t agree with me so I don’t have a ton of advice of what to change so it they won’t be too dense. maybe try a half and half flour mixture the first time to see how that goes before going over completely.

Hi these look so good are they only little they look bigger then what the measurements say and could u please tell me what a jelly tool pan I’m hopeless arnt I lol
Ashlee Marie
