Notes

Top Tips

Make sure your yeast isn't expired. Bread machine yeast lasts for only 3-4 months after you have opened the bottle. However, if the yeast is exposed to air & moisture (i.e. the bottle is not sealed tight) or exposed to higher temperatures, the yeast will expire even more quickly.

Use warm water. Don't use hot or cold water- you want it to be warm.

Add ingredients in the order given. And add salt along one edge and sugar around the other, then form a small crater with your finger in the top of the flour and pour yeast into this crater. * Some breadmakers don't require you add ingredients like this, but mine does

Measure accurately. It's really important to make sure your measures are level and don't add 'heaping' tbsps or cups. If you add too much of an ingredient, you will have an issue.

🌡️Storing

Make-ahead: This breadstick recipe can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. There is no reason to refrigerate them, as the fridge tends to dry out baked goods.

Freezing: After the breadsticks are cooled completely, freeze them in a Ziplock freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave.

*NOTE: Recipe is for 1 lb bread maker

**NOTE: I have a very old bread machine so I have to put the ingredients in a specific order. This may not be the case for your bread maker.
