Breadsticks or bread peaks are a great snack to always have on hand at home as they keep perfectly in an airtight container and are ideal to accompany soups, tapas and sauces.

To make breadsticks at home, all you need is plain wheat flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast . This is a very easy recipe, although shaping them can be a bit time-consuming, especially if you want to make a large batch. It's an ideal project to prepare with children, as the dough is easy to handle, and the more rustic they are, the more authentic they'll look.

In the following step-by-step instructions, we'll prepare breadsticks in their three most common shapes: short, bow-shaped, and long (or breadsticks), although at home you can make them in any shape you like. The easiest way to shape them is by rolling the dough into a rectangle and cutting it into strips, then finishing shaping them with your hands before baking. After baking and once cooled, they store perfectly in an airtight container.

These homemade breadsticks are ideal as an accompaniment on a platter of hors d'oeuvres or charcuterie board, with spreads or sauces, or as a garnish for a Russian salad.

How to make homemade breadsticks

To make the dough for homemade breadsticks, first mix 250g of wheat flour in a bowl with 4g of salt and 5g of dried baker's yeast.

We place the dry ingredients in the bowl to make the breadsticks.Homemade Breadsticks Recipe

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 100 ml of lukewarm water.

We add the oil and waterHomemade Breadsticks Recipe

Amasamos a mano o bien con la amasadora a velocidad media durante 8 minutos. Si amasáis a mano, en 10-12 minutos la masa estará lisa y elástica. Formamos una bola, tapamos con un trapo y la dejamos levar durante 1 hora en un sitio sin corrientes de aire.

We form a ball with the breadstick dough and let it rise.Homemade Breadsticks Recipe

Pasada la hora de levado, la masa habrá duplicado su tamaño.

The mass of the breadsticks will have doubled in sizeHomemade Breadsticks Recipe

Hundimos la masa para sacar el aire y formamos un rectángulo de masa de 25 x 30 cm. Cortamos tiras de 1 cm de ancho y, a continuación, las cortamos del largo que prefiramos para nuestros colines. En nuestro caso, y para que veáis sus formas más comunes, hemos dividido algunas tiras de masa en porciones pequeñas para los colines cortos —dejando los extremos de estos más finos— y para hacer colines largos, tipo palitos de pan y lazos de pan, hemos dejado algunas tiras de masa más largas, con unos 12 cm de longitud.

We stretch and divide the doughHomemade Breadsticks Recipe

Vamos terminando de dar forma a los colines y, una vez formados, los disponemos en una bandeja de horno (o dos bandejas, según el tamaño del horno). Mientras tanto, precalentamos el horno a 200 ºC.

Horneamos los colines caseros durante 15-20 minutos a 200 ºC hasta que estén ligeramente dorados y crujientes.
