It was real bland. Great texture, looked and smelled great coming out of the oven. I let them rise on a warm surface for about 45 minutes. Everyone was too hungry to wait on the bread. I will make these again but next time I will season them up a bit more.

For some reason I don't think my dough raised, or at least not much. They were extremely dense after baking. Too bad. Won't attempt to make again.

used a bit more salt and threw in a dash or so of garlic powder before letting rise, awesome.

These were great! Melt in your mouth good claimed my husband; which is a high complement :) Not bland like others I have tried. I liked that they weren't too dense. I didn't have kosher salt so I used my sea salt grinder which was wonderful! Loved eating them along with my Italian vegetable soup recipe! Mmmm!

I've made this recipe twice now and my family and I cant get enough of them! It makes a lot, so i cut it in half. I also like to add garlic and onion powder:)

I'll give this recipe 3 stars, but I did alter it some but mostly because of the texture of the finished product. It was very light and fluffy bread and while it was very tasty bread, breadsticks should have a more dense texture. I scaled the recipe down to fit into my bread machine so I used 3 1/2 cups of flour. The dough has a nice texture when it comes out of the bread machine. When I scaled down the recipe I did round the numbers a bit to accomidate. But to the dough, I also added 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the dough. Then for the butter topping I increased the garlic to 1+ teaspoon of garlic powder. I didn't measure, but just palmed the garlic powder. I think next time I would use 4 tablespoons of butter for the topping because 3 was barely enough to cover the breadsticks a second time after baking. After spreading the garlic butter on top I sprinkled a bit more Parmesan cheese on top. I palmed the Parmesan and sprinkled it on by hand so it's just a light touch of it added. Then baked them. After baking I used the remaining garlic butter on top and sprinkled the tops with a bit of kosher salt while wet so it sticks well. We like a lot of garlic in our house so the garlic amount was just perfect for my family. I think you want them to raise a bit but not as much as you would a bread and an hour was to long. I also used a heating pad for about 15-20 min. I made 15 breadsticks with my scaled down recipe.

Add 1 tbsp garlic powder to the dough.

I had waned to make cheese sticks for lunches, so I used this recipe as a base. I flattened the dough, put a strip of grated cheese down the middle, then closed the dough around, before letting it rise for the hour. Then brushed with butter and baked. Turned out excellent!

My family knows I have a fear of yeast. So whenever I attempt a recipe using it, they cheer loudly when the recipe works. This recipe worked! In fact, I have now made this recipe 3 times and it was successful each time, although my shaping skills still need some work. I made the recipe as written; I also added garlic powder to the dough and sprinkled Parmesan cheese to the top. My family wasn't picky about the method, they ate all of them any way I tried it. If you are a beginner to yeast, this is a very forgiving recipe to try on, and a bonus is you only stir and kneed for 3 minutes. Thanks Kimbers for sharing a recipe that I can now confidently make.

Very good!
