100% would make again

I use the "dough only" cycle on my bread machine to prepare these melt-in-your-mouth breadsticks that my family of five gobbles up! The soft, chewy breadsticks are irresistible when brushed with butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. They're the perfect accompaniment to soups or Italian entrees. -Christy Eichelberger, Jesup, Iowa

My family loved them..they told me they were better then Olive Gardens! The dough was easy to mix up in my Kitchen Aid Mixer. I want to make this into Pizza Dough or take out the Italian seasoning and galic power out and make then into dinner rolls! I will be making recipe again for years to come!

These were good and super soft. Too soft to stand up to my chili but great alone.

Thanks, Jenn
