I have made this recipe at least 6 times now; each time the breadsticks tasted just as good as the last. It has to be the closest recipe to true Italian breadsticks I have ever found. They were not to hard and had the perfect amount of softness to them. This 5 star recipe will continue to grace my dinner table over and over again.
