Twisted Parmesan Breadsticks

Twisted Parmesan Breadsticks – homemade Parmesan breadsticks in under an hour.

Do you guys love Pinterest as much as I do? I think I’m addicted to it. I love pinning and I love to see what other have pinned and then repin, repin and repin. I can spend hours just looking at pins and pinning. Sometimes I have to tell my husband to get me off the computer, because I can’t stop!

But I digress.

Today’s recipe is one of my favorite. Of course it’s a favorite of mine. I love to bake. So pretty much everything I bake, becomes a favorite. However these breadsticks kind of remind me of the Olive Garden breadsticks. I used to love to go there for lunch and have soup and breadsticks, or salad and breadsticks. Of course those were not twisted but I think they look prettier twisted.

The best part about these breadsticks is how easy they are to make. There is literally 5 ingredients to making the dough. You don’t even have to let the dough rise for hours, I just let it rise for about 15 minutes, so I think I had these breadsticks done in about an hour. That is my kind of baking.

I found this recipe on pinterest, and they were made with garlic butter. But I am a Parmesan cheese lover so I decided to make mine with Parmesan and boy are they good. I can think of so many other variations like pesto, tapenade, pizza style. Oh I have a feeling these will become a staple at my house.
