    Sesame Breadsticks

    Crispy and Crunchy snack that can be enjoyed anytime, served with marinara sauce or with your Holiday cheeseboard. They are a fun snack to make with kids and are great to be made ahead and kids will have fun making these snake breadsticks with the same dough.

    Sesame seeds not only adds nutrition, but also nutty flavor to the sticks. Have you tried this Black sesame ice cream or Black Sesame Cookies?

    Why You'll Love This Recipe?

    1. Make ahead - These store well in an air tight container at room temperature for a few days.
    2. Homemade snack - Forget store bought packaged snacks and make at home for a healthier option.
    3. Great anytime - Serve with cheeseboards, snack or appetizer for dipping.

    TIP - Don't roll them thicker than ¼-inch. If the breadsticks are thicker, then they'll take longer to bake and it might not get crunchy all the way though.

    Sesame Seeds

    We used a mix of black and white sesame seeds for color, flavor and texture. Feel free to use any variety you have around.

    INGREDIENTS

    1. Flour - All purpose flour
    2. Sesame seeds - We used a mix of black and white seeds.
    3. Butter - Use room temperature unsalted butter.
    4. Flavorings - Red pepper flakes and salt
    5. Leavening - Baking powder
    6. Water - Use ice cold water which helps the butter stay cold until it hits the oven and is the secret to making flaky, tender breadsticks.

    VARIATIONS

    • Make into crackers - Roll dough into ¼-inch thickness on the counter, cut into 1-inch squares and bake until golden like these parmesan crackers.
    • Don't like spicy - Skip red pepper flakes.
    • Garlicky - Mix in 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon finely minced garlic.
    • Curry flavor - Mix in ½ teaspoon ground coriander, ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne and ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder to the dough.
    • Italian - Mix 1 teaspoon dried parsley, garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
    • Mexican - Add 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning.

    How To Make?

    1. Mix dry - Whisk flour, sesame seeds, baking powder, red pepper flakes and salt in a bowl.
    2. Finish dough - Mix in ice cold water and butter and gently mix to form a smooth dough.
    3. Shape - Pinch pieces of dough and roll into ¼-inch thick sticks.
    4. Bake - Bake in a preheated 350°F until golden and crisp.

    How To Store?

    Breadsticks can stored in an air tight container at room temperature for up to a week.

    How To Serve?

    Enjoy as a homemade snack, appetizer or with cheeseboards. They are delicious served with marinara sauce or Alfredo sauce for dipping.

    A great crunchy homemade snack!

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Whisk all dry ingredients in a medium bowl together. Add butter and mix with your fingertips until evenly combined.
    • Add water, gently knead with your hands to get a slightly smooth dough (don't knead too much, mix until it comes together and look smooth). (Add ½ to 1 teaspoon addional water if needed)
    • Divide dough into 20 small pieces. Roll each piece with the palm of hands on the kitchen counter to get a 12-inch long breadstick (don't bother if it breaks, just pinch it back together and proceed).
    • Gently transfer the breadstick onto the baking sheet and proceed with remaining dough. Lay breadsticks in a single layer and not touching each other (they will not expand).
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown in color (rotate pan halfway through baking).
    • Place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    Breadsticks can be stored at room temperature for several days.
    Don't roll them thicker than ¼-inch. If the breadsticks are thicker, then they'll take longer to bake and it might not get crunchy all the way though.
