Back when I first got my original bread machine, one of my favorite things to make with it was homemade breadsticks. They always turned out pretty damn great. Light, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than the pre-made dough you can get at the store in a can. Then again, almost anything homemade is better than pre-packaged.

These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are super simple to make and takes very little in the way of ‘hands on’ time. The bread machine does the lot of the work. All you have to do is roll the dough out and bake. Easy enough though, right?

I’ve made this same breadstick recipe with almost all the different kinds of flour and found that my favorite is a whole wheat white flour (which is my usual go-to for just about everything) but, to be honest, you could use whatever flour strikes your fancy. Whole wheat, white, bread, etc. I don’t know that the oddities like gluten-free or almond would work though. So, I’d suggest sticking to the more basic flours.

These breadsticks DO need their rise time. The only trick to these beauties is to be sure that you let them rise until they are at very least doubled in size on the baking sheet.

These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are great being paired with your favorite Italian dish. I served mine with homemade spaghetti this week. But, feel free to enjoy them when, how, and where you would any other breadsticks!
