Did you all see the One-Pot Spicy Cannellini Soup I posted yesterday? Well here are the yummy bread sticks we served with them. Both meals are found in this weeks meal plan. The bread sticks are quick to make, delicious, and oh did I mention they are super quick to make? No rise time folks. LOVE IT! Make some today. We pair our bread sticks with homemade spaghetti sauce, creamy tortellini soup, or Red Pepper and Squash Soup. My hubby could eat just the bread sticks. They are his favorite!
Bread
sticks
2 ¼ tsp yeast
1tsp sugar
¾ cup warm water
1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour*
½ tsp salt
2 tbl butter
2
tsp garlic (I used already minced garlic in a jar)
1 tsp Parmesan
cheese
Combine yeast,
sugar, and water in a bowl. Mix until combined and yeast starts to
bubble around the edge of the mixture. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Yeast mixture will be bubbly after the 5 minutes. Next add flour and
salt. Mix until a ball of dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes.
Allow to rest for a few minutes. Next roll out dough into an 8 x 8
rectangle. Take a pizza cutter or knife and cut strips of dough.
Place on a grease baking sheet.
Ina small bowl mix
melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. Brush onto bread sticks.
Cook for 8-10 minutes at 500'.
* you can use whole wheat flour, white flour, or a combination of both.
Enjoy lovelies!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Emily:>
DeleteI tried this and they were a hit with the entire family. Tell me how you keep them soft for the following day? Thanks
DeleteThese look fantastic! And I LOVE that they don't have to rise...I always things of rolls/breadsticks way too late and can't get them done in time for dinner :) You are really fantastic...thank you so much for working so hard to share so many great things with all of us!

Blue Skies Ahead
I always hate when dinner comes around and I want bread, but forgot to plan ahead (I do it often). These bread sticks save me when that happens. Thanks for your sweet comment and I love what I do and sharing it. Best ever!
DeleteGoing to try these tonight. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! I got a Kitchen Aid for Christmas and have been dying to bust it out! Looks like I'll be starting with these.. :)
ReplyDeleteYes bust that baby out. It will become your new best friend:>
DeleteCould you freeze extra breadsticks for future meals?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely:>
DeleteWhat is a good price to get yeast for? I have found that the packets seem pretty expensive.
ReplyDeleteI buy mine at Costco. I believe I paid around $3.00 for two pounds. Hope this helps
DeleteAs far as a regular grocery: buy the jarred yeast often called bread machine yeast. Same yeast--much cheaper. One packet equals a scant tablespoon. Just store it in the frige.
DeleteYou can buy bulk yeast in a regular grocery store in a jar--often labeled bread machine yeast. Just store in the frige.
DeleteI buy a 2lb package of Red Star Yeast at Costco. Is it $4.49. Totally worth it. You can freeze yeast too. I buy a few and store them in my freezer until I am ready to use them.
DeleteThat looks awesome!!! We actually have everything on hand. I'll definitely be making these over spring break next week. I have only ever made one kind of bread and I'm a bit nervous about branching out.
ReplyDeleteHey Samantha it could be two things...either your water was not warm enough or was too hot. I get my water straight from the tab. Turn on the hot water and let it run until you can put your hand under, feel it is hot, but not to hot on your skin. This is how you know it is the right temp. Next I take a spoon and quickly stir to let yeast mix with the water. Let it sit for the 5 minutes and you should see bubbles. Let me know if that helps.
DeleteSeeing you on yahoo yesterday was awesome! I was like "Hey! I know her! I read her blog!";LOL as if we're like BFFs.. congrats of the coverage.. :)
ReplyDeletehaha thanks:>
DeleteMy yeast, water, sugar mixture isn't bubbling! ahhh - what am i doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteMy bread sticks didn't rise...I rarely have luck with yeast...it's instant yeast...any brand you recommend?

DeleteI use red star.
DeleteThey were delish and easy! Thanks!!
DeleteI just found your blog, awesome ness thanks for all the great tips and recipes!
ReplyDeleteOooh yum! I'll have to make these!
ReplyDeleteI made one set last night and as soon as they were out I made another so I'd get to eat some after my family got to the pan! Perfect to go with the spaghetti I'd already planned for dinner. I only cooked them on 475 (scared to go above that with my oven)for 8 minutes and they turned out great. Next time I'm going to make a few batches at once and have cookies or another dessert pan-ready to take more advantage of all that oven heating. Thanks for a great, yummy and FAST recipe!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome. We made two batches again today. They still can't get enough:>
DeleteI made these tonight w/the cannellini soup. My husband was amazed with both!!!
ReplyDeleteDo u think it would b ok to replace the whole wheat with all purpose flour? My family r not big fans of the WW taste. Thanks much!
ReplyDeleteI used all purpose flour (white) tonight and it was great! I think I rolled my dough a little too thin or baked it a minute or two too long (I baked for 8 minutes).
DeleteI made this recipe 3x and I'm determined to get it right ...everytime I make them they come out pretty hard - they taste great, though! Any clue what i'm doing wrong? The yeast bubbles, I let it sit for 5min then knead for five and bake...should I wait longer before baking?
ReplyDeleteMaybe let your dough rest a bit before baking. I only bake mine for 8 minutes. Make sure you are not rolling the breadsticks to thin.
DeleteHey Danielle! I made these breadsticks with white flour tonight and I thought they were really good. Next time, I'll not roll it as thin (same issue as above), but they were still yummy and fluffy in the middle. Definitely making again! May sprinkle some dried parsley or basil too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got a Ninja blender/dough mixer for Christmas and am about to start making our own bread like you've suggested. Our bread cost over $3 for a small loaf, so I figure it's better to make it. Do you think I could knead it with the mixer and bake it in a loaf pan since I don't have a bread maker? Just curious if you make bread for sandwiches NOT in your bread maker ever. Thanks again!
absolutely. I do this in my mixer and have it do all the kneading for me:>
