Breadsticks are easy to make and there are a variety of styles. This is the “twisted-stick” style for a Cinnamon-Sugar breadstick. They’re easy to make in your bread machine using the dough setting, but you’ll have to roll them out and finish them in a conventional oven.
Cinnamon-Sugar breadsticks go great with a cup of coffee or tea at breakfast, or at a low-tea mid-morning. Kids like them as an after-school treat and they always make for a quick and easy dessert.
INGREDIENTS:
DOUGH INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cups water (100° F./37° C.)
1tablespoon butter at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons yeast
TOPPINGS:
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
GLAZE:
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon of water
DIRECTIONS:
1Place the first set of dough ingredients in the bread pan in the order indicated. Do not add any of the topping ingredients at this point. Select the dough cycle on the bread machine. When finished, drop the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
2Roll the dough out flat to about 1/4 inch thick or about half a centimeter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
3Lightly brush the surface of the dough with the melted butter. Reserve the egg yolk and water for glazing.
4Preheat oven to 400° F./205° C.
5Sprinkle the sugar and the cinnamon over the top evenly.
6Cut the dough into long strips about an inch to ¾ inch wide. Twist each end in opposite directions to twist the toppings into the bread stick.
7Place the twisted breadsticks onto a lightly oiled baking sheet. Mix the egg yolk and the water and glaze each breadstick lightly.
8Bake at 400° F./205° C. for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve.
