Italian Breadsticks are the perfect accompaniment to any meal but my favorite way to enjoy them is dipped in soup!

Some of my other favorite breads to serve with soup include Garlic Knots, Oatmeal Herb Bread and 30 Minute Rolls.

I am a bread lover and a pan of hot, fresh, breadsticks is the perfect companion to any dinner. These Italian Breadsticks are soft and come together quickly thanks to Rapid Rise Yeast.  Thanks to a coating of olive oil and butter along Italian seasoning they have a ton of flavor too.

How to Make Italian Breadsticks

Prepare pan by lining a 9 x 13 pan with parchment paper and coat bottom with a layer of olive oil.

Mix together water, salt, flour, yeast and 2 tsp of Italian Seasoning.

Knead together until a soft dough forms. 

Spread dough into 9 x 13 pan.

Cut through the dough lengthwise, creating 1 1/2 inch wide long breadsticks.  Make one cut through the middle. After baking you will cut again along these same lines.

Drizzle top with more olive oil and sprinkle with additional seasoning.

Rise. Allow bread to rise for about 40-50 minutes. The bread needs to rise for about 50 minutes.  So you have time to get the rest of dinner prepared.

  • Remove from oven and lift breadsticks from pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool a few minutes.
  • Cut through the breadsticks with a pizza cutter on the scored lines.
  • Place the cut breadsticks on the parchment paper onto a cookie sheet. Allow a little space between them. Return to oven and bake for 5-10 more minutes (the longer the time, the stiffer the breadsticks will be)
  • Remove from oven, brush with melted butter and serve

We love to dip them into marinara sauce but they are also delicious served and dipped into soup.

What to Serve With Italian Breadsticks

  • Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
  • Penne Rustica
  • Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Soup
  • Baked Potato Soup
  • Instant Pot Tomato Soup
  • Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

How to Store Leftover Breadsticks

If you are lucky enough to have any leftover, place them into a zip-top bag and store them in the fridge. They will last 4-5 days.

You can also freeze them. Wrap them in plastic wrap and then place them into a zip top bag and they will last for 1-2 months. Thaw at room temperature.

How to Reheat Italian Breadsticks

I think they are best fresh out of the oven but they reheat easily and taste great. I like to wrap them in foil and reheat in a 200 degree F oven for about 10 minutes.
