Soft breadsticks are as easy to make as biscuits, and quick enough to whip up almost at the last minute. They make a nice addition to a soup, stew, or salad.
Soft Breadsticks
1 ¼ cups flour
2 tsp sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
⅔ cup milk
3 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
2 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Combine dry ingredients and gradually add milk to form a soft dough.
Knead gently 3 or 4 times on a floured surface.
Roll out into a rectangle about 10″ x 5″ and cut into 12 sticks.
Put the melted butter into a large baking dish (I use a 13″ x 9″ rectangular glass dish) and turn the breadsticks to coat them with the butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if you like.
Bake at 450°F for 14 to 18 minutes.
Serve warm.

These breadsticks look great! Having just moved to Seattle, I plan on making a lot of soups to make it through the winter. This recipes will be a great compliment.

I love this recipe! I made a version with half whole wheat flour. Then another with cinnamon added to it and brown sugar on top. It tasted wonderful.

Patty, those are great variations - thanks for this! You can’t go wrong with cinnamon and brown sugar, with my crowd
and I’ve done a half-whole-wheat version a couple of times, but added some grated strong cheddar to it, too: very nice!
