These soft yeast-free breadsticks are made with whole grain flour and don't require any yeast or sugar!

My first job was at a children's playland where I hosted birthday parties.
In addition to cake and ice cream, the families were treated to pizza of their choice from the one and only Pizza Hut. Given my proximity, I often partook of the greasy fare, which included cheesy breadsticks!
I had them in mind with this recipe, but in contrast, this recipe is made with whole grain flour. They're also free of yeast, sugar, oil, and other preservative nasties.
This makes a quick batch of six that would go very well with soup or salad for two!

Recipe tips
We like to dip these in my Homemade Pizza Sauce!
If you'd like to add cheese, I recommend baking the dough alone for 8-10 minutes then adding the cheese. Bake it for another 3-5 minutes until cheese is melty and bubbly.
Yeast-Free Breadsticks
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole grain flour spelt, whole wheat, whole wheat pastry
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 6-8 Tablespoons milk of your choice I use whole milk
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir in the milk, adding more as needed to make a soft, but not sticky, dough.
- Gather dough together and knead it until it is a smooth ball.
- Cover the dough ball with your mixing bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle ( about 1/4-1/2 inch thick).
- Cut the rectangle into six equal-sized sticks and place in a well-greased 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
- Brush the tops with a bit of olive oil or melted butter and top with a sprinkle of parmesan, if desired.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.

Just tried this with whole wheat flour instead of spelt and it turned out great! A perfect recipe to solve a sudden bread craving, lol.

Has anyone tried stuffing these with a cheese stick?
