Soft Bread Sticks

If you've ever enjoyed soft bread sticks at Pizza Hut, you'll recognize these. The best part is, you can have them on the table in under 90 minute, with just about 10 minutes of actual "hands-on" time. These are wonderful served with marinara sauce (as they are in restaurants), or dipped in your favorite flavored olive oil.

- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 4 teaspoons Pizza Dough Flavor, optional
- Pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning, to sprinkle on top

I honestly didn't believe that it would be so easy or turn out so well. I used parchment which I oiled and served the breadsticks with pesto, tapenade and sun dried tomato dips. My guests loved it. Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe.

Loved this recipe. Made it & took them to a BBQ with great results & gave them the recipe too. I also loved your Ciabatta. I would like you to keep on sending me any bread recipes. Thank you, Owen K
Congratulations, Owen, on making treats for yourself and for your friends. Check the recipe page and the blog pages for new recipes and inspiration. Happy Baking! Irene at KAF

I love bread sticks and these are fabulous. I used a garlic flavored olive oil to drizzle over the top before adding the Italian seasoning and sprinkling with a little coarse groud salt! Whooeee!

These are great. I made them on a large pizza pan, put on italian sesoning, and sprinkled with garlic powder. I put my oven on warm for a couple of minutes, turned it off and let the sticks rise in the warm oven. After rising, I baked them as in recipe but the last 2 minutes, I sprinkled on some Italian cheese and put on broil until the cheese melted.

As with all of the other King Arthur recipes that I've tried, this one is wonderful! My husband loves them. A local restaurant serves their bread with small dishes of italian seasoning, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and a cruet of olive oil. Diners can mix a dipping sauce suited to their personal preferences. Great idea with these bread sticks!

Great recipe . Could you use whole wheat or rye flour to get a variety. If so what else might be needed. Thank you
You could replace SOME of the white flour with whole grain. Start with 1/4 the amount of flour in the recipe and work up to half the flour. If you are pleased with the results, continue to experiment and add more flour. Keep track of your adjustments! Irene at KAF

I wondered if you could make a half batch successfully and if so, what size pan would you use? Would it change any of the direction?
Have you considered making the whole batch and freezing half for quick use later? Irene at KAF

Absolutely delicious! So quick and easy to mix up - requires so little time and turned out so yummy! They smelled delicious even while baking and looked like the pictures when finished!. The taste is not to strong but is really addicting:) you can't stop eating them. My family really enjoyed them and they received a couple of 10 ratings. Will definately be making them again.
