Homemade Breadsticks in the Bread Machine

by Crystal on August 14, 2012

It was below 90 degrees in Kansas yesterday so I was so excited it was cool enough to bake! And I whipped up a batch of Homemade Breadsticks in the Bread Machine.

These are SO easy to make — and absolutely delicious, too. If you haven’t tried this recipe yet, I highly recommend it. Here’s my slight adaption of the original recipe:

    Those look delicious!

    I’m baking anyway today. It won’t be below 90º here until mid-October. I can’t wait that long for bread!

    These look delicious! I just want to clarify- my bread machine dough cycle includes rise time- Do you take it out after mixing and allow to rise on the cookie sheet or do you punch it down and let it rise for a second time on the cookie sheet?

    • Becky August 14, 2012 at 08:18 pm

      I’m just guessing here, but I think she is using a shorter setting. My machine has two dough settings — one is 45 minutes and the other is at least double that. I always use the shorter of the two when I make dough because any recipe I use always calls for a reshaping of the dough and then rising time.

    • Crystal August 14, 2012 at 08:38 pm

      I let it run through the whole 1.5 hour dough cycle, which includes rise time.

    Or this one if you don’t have a bread machine :)

      Thank you!

  • Charity August 14, 2012 at 07:58 pm

    Have you tried freezing these?

    • Charity August 14, 2012 at 09:59 pm

      Another Charity here ;) I commented below that we love this recipe and I’ve frozen them several times (baked, not the dough, although that may work too) and they freeze beautifully and warm up great!

        Love your names. I even chose it for my daughter. Great name!

        • Charity August 15, 2012 at 01:19 pm

          Thanks! :)

    I’ve always wanted a bread machine, but I am obsessed with fresh bread, so I would probably gain a thousand pounds if I were able to make bread on a daily basis. These breadsticks do look good though…

    • Lana August 15, 2012 at 12:07 pm

      It seems like you would eat bread like crazy but you don’t if homemade is all you ever have. It becomes the normal, everyday bread. There are just two of us and I usually only make one loaf a week.

  • Laurie @PassionatePennyPincher.com August 14, 2012 at 09:37 pm

    I can’t wait to make these! We made homemade wheat bread in our bread machine today and it was so good, but I know my kids would love these. Thanks so much for sharing (and your pictures look fantastic!)

    I have a recipe for italian breadsticks that I make that is similar to this recipe. Everyone in our family really likes it. I will have to give this breadstick recipe a try but not this week. It is supposed to be over 100 degrees later this week so I will have to wait until it cools down a little to be baking.
    Thanks for sharing this recipe. Looks like you have a good little helper.

  • Charity August 14, 2012 at 09:55 pm

    This recipe is a family favorite of ours! So easy and so delicious!! I usually brush them with butter when they come out of the oven and then sprinkle half with garlic powder and Parmesan and the other half with cinnamon and sugar. :)

  • Katie August 14, 2012 at 10:18 pm

    Crystal, what do you use for sandwiches? Homemade or store bought? Also I have noticed that unless eaten fresh the homemade bread isn’t very good. Is there any way to not eat so much?

    • Crystal August 15, 2012 at 06:47 am

      We typically use storebought bread for sandwiches. Mostly because I can usually get pretty high-quality bread marked down to $1 per loaf. I just stick it in the freezer and use it as we need it.

    • Kathy August 15, 2012 at 07:31 am

      Katie, I find homemade bread freezes nicely. After the first day, I slice and freeze the rest, and take out piece by piece after that.

  • Brandi @ Savvy Student Shopper August 15, 2012 at 01:31 am

    Those look delicious! I’ll definitely be giving them a try :)

  • Dana August 15, 2012 at 08:23 am

    I’ve been making these breadsticks for a while now, and we LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They’re so nice and fluffy inside. Also works great with whole wheat flour!

  • Charity August 15, 2012 at 01:18 pm

    Thanks! We certainly don’t need to eat all of them at one time. :)

  • Cindy August 16, 2012 at 06:22 am

    I have always wanted a bread machine but I never knew if it was worth the money or what kind to get. Do you really use your bread machine alot and what kind would you all recommend? Thanks

  • michelle August 16, 2012 at 03:26 pm

    going to give these a try. The weather is nice here Kansas today almost cooled.
    Thanks for sharing

    I noticed that you used regular flour instead of bread flour. All the recipes that are in my machine booklet call for bread flour. Should I give regular flour a try?

    • Crystal August 20, 2012 at 05:48 am

      I’ve never used bread flour before and find that regular flour usually works great.

  • Crystal Redmon August 20, 2012 at 09:37 pm

    I don’ have a bread machine, would the sponge method or the all at once method work better?

    • Bernadette August 22, 2012 at 12:03 am

      I don’t have a bread machine either, so I used the sponge method to get the yeast to rise. Turned out great!

  • Bernadette August 22, 2012 at 12:02 am

    I made these in my stand mixer, let the dough rise, and then formed them into hamburger buns and let the buns rise again. (I skipped the butter, garlic and parm). They turned out delish! Too bad I didn’t make a double batch,since my kids ate them fresh from the oven and we almost didn’t have any left for dinner!
