Tips to make Cinnamon Breadsticks

  • This dough can be easily kneaded by hand also. However, just make sure to dust your hands with flour often to prevent sticking the dough to your hands.
  • After kneading and cutting into strips leave the dough covered with cloth for 40 minutes or up to 1 hour. After that, the dough needs to rise.
  • In addition, you can simply make half of the sticks sweet and half savory.

    Wow, this looks so good, Ilona! I love the photo of the dough too..it looks like fluffy pillows! So beautiful and I like to make as much from scratch too. You never know what all is in processed stuff, plus homemade always tastes better!

    Those are beautiful!! They look absolutely delicious and I wouldn’t mind waking up to these!
    I agree with you too… I make it fresh whenever I can because I know what goes into it – especially pancakes and waffles! Plus I make an extra batch so that I can freeze them and toast them when I need them!

    We try to eat unprocessed in our household too. I love cinnamon rolls but have never attempted them … I think I will start with your cinnamon breadsticks first and work my way up. Thank you for the recipe. Can’t wait to try it.

    These look so good that I just want to reach into my screen and steal one!
    I make my boys eggs and toast every day before school, so at the weekend they like to have a sweet breakfast. These would be utterly perfect!!!
    I can’t wait to try them.
