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.
Yummy!
I Love bread!
Yummy, indeed! And stay tuned, if you love (quick and easy) homemade bread! Playing around with another recipe that’s not only tasty but just about the fastest way to make bread I’ve found yet… I’ll be posting the recipe soon…
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!
do these taste more like biscuits or like pizza breadstick
thanks
Hi Brent. They’re soft – not crispy like a pizza bread stick but not fluffy like a biscuit either – more like a chewy Italian type bread in texture, I guess you could say.
do you think you could put a picture on here??
i’m not sure what they’re supposed to look like when they’re done…
Lola, if you’ve been reading DG for very long, you’ll have figured out that photography is… er… not exactly my special gift.
But just for you, I’ll try!
And I’ll bet that He Who Hogs The Power Tools won’t complain about me making a batch of bread sticks, just so I can take a photo for you.
(hint: golden on top, like a nice biscuit, when they’re done.)
I just made these! I dipped them in the butter and then twisted them. I thought they turned out prettier than being just a straight stick
Hi–found your blog searching for no yeast breadsticks
trying these tonight.
Can you make these without baking soda?
No baking soda is required, Jeanette, but you do need baking powder.
THESE TASTE GREAT although the dough was REALLY REALLY sticky!! what did i do wrong??? could it be too much milk?? I could NOT get it off my hands!!!
thanks
As a non-bread making person, I went searching for a no-yeast breadstick recipe…. and this was perfect! The breadsticks just came out of the oven, and they are great. The dough was quite sticky as I was mixing it, but I just added flour til it felt good enough to work with. I actually added quite a bit, but they don’t taste floury at all! I made them into Halloween Witch Finger breadsticks.
Oh… and they taste great! I’m sure I will be making these at least once a week!
THANKS DOMESTIK GODDESS!
Ummm Question I want to make a challah can this recipe be used and just braid them together to make the load? I to not have yeast but have heard that yeast sub egual parts lemon juice and baking soda no rise time needed does this work?
