Healthy homemade snacks can be simple to prepare and offer a safe, tasty alternative to store-bought options, helping your child develop good eating habits and a love for real food.
Bread Sticks made with Oil salt cheese, water and flour. If you’re in the mood for a quick and satisfying snack, homemade breadsticks are a fantastic option. With just a few simple ingredients—oil, salt, water. spices, cheese, and flour—you can create a warm and crispy treat that’s perfect for dipping or enjoying on its own. The beauty of making breadsticks from scratch lies not only in the delightful aroma they fill your kitchen with but also in the ability to customize them to your taste.
To start, you’ll need to mix together flour and salt in a bowl, creating a simple yet robust foundation for your breadsticks. Gradually add in water and the oil, which helps to enrich the dough and gives it a delightful texture. The next step is to incorporate grated cheese, which melts beautifully during baking to create a savory flavor throughout each stick. Once combined, knead the dough lightly until it forms a smooth ball, and let it rest for a moment to allow the gluten to relax.
After the dough has rested, roll it out into thin strips, making sure to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.I roll dough in rectangle shape and cut it into sticks. You can brush the tops with a little extra oil and sprinkle additional cheese or herbs like garlic powder or oregano for an extra flavor boost. Baking the breadsticks in a preheated oven allows them to rise and crisp up nicely, resulting in a golden finish that is absolutely irresistible.
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them plain, or accompany them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or a tangy ranch dressing. These homemade breadsticks not only satisfy cravings but also provide a fun cooking experience, allowing you to indulge in the simple joy of creating something delicious from scratch.
