Twisted Pizza Breadsticks Recipe

Light and flaky, these deliciously easy pizza sticks use no yeast. They go together very quickly and are destined to become a firm family favourite!

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Makes 8

Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup of dairy buttermilk
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ TBS fine sugar
  • 1 ¼ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup cold butter cut into chunks
  • 3 TBS softened butter
  • ½ cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • Pizza sauce or your favourite marinara sauce to serve

Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400*F. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Set aside.
    2. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda salt, and Italian seasoning together in a bowl. Stir in 1 TBS of the grated Parmesan cheese.
    3. Drop in the cold butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using two round bladed knives (using a crossing motion) or a pastry blender. The mixture will be ready when it resembles coarse breadcrumbs, with a few pea sized bits. You don’t want the crumbs to be too fine as it is the larger bits which help these to be so flaky.
    4. Make a well in the centre and add the buttermilk all at once. Stir together with a fork just to combine. The dough will be a bit sticky.
    5. Gather together and tip it out onto a floured board. Knead a couple times to bring it together. Lightly roll it out, using a floured rolling pin, to a rectangle that measures 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, about 1/3 inch thick.
    6. Spread all over with the softened butter. Working from the short side up, sprinkle the remainder of the cheese over half of the dough. Bring the other half of the dough down over the cheese to cover. Using a sharp knife cut it into 8 1-inch wide strips from top to bottom. Lightly twist and place onto the baking sheet, leaving space between the strips.
    7. Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and golden brown for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
    8. While they are baking heat your pizza/marinara sauce.
    9. Serve the pizza sticks warm with some pizza/marinara sauce for dipping! Delicious!
