Amazing Vegan Bread Sticks

There is nothing that my kids love more with their dinner than bread sticks. They are the easiest thing to dip in sauce or just eat as a snack. Obviously frozen bread sticks are not vegan in any way so I decided to use my amazing bread machine (thanks mom!) and make my own. It's super easy and the machine does most of the work for you! I'm sure that you could even use this dough to make pizza, which we have not done yet but plan on trying sometime very soon!

You will need:

1 1/2 Cups Water

4 1/3 Cups Bread Flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 Tablespoons raw sugar

1 package of yeast


Add the ingredients in the order they are listed into your bread machine. DO NOT MIX!

Put your bread machine on the dough-normal setting. Then select "large" for the loaf size.

After the bread machine is finished doing it's thing, take out the dough and place it on a floured surface. Punch the dough down a few times to get the air out. Then place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm place and allow to rise for 30 minutes.

When 30 minutes has passed take the dough out and again place it on a floured surface, punching a few more times to get the last of the air out. Place it back in the bowl, cover it and let it sit another 30 minutes.

I know this seems like it takes forever but trust me they are so yummy!!

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and place the dough back on your floured surface. Roll it out to a long rectangle. You don't want it too thin, but also not too thick.

Cut the dough into strips and then cut each strip in half or thirds, depending on how long the strip is and how long you want your bread sticks.

Place the bread sticks on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. I like to brush them with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic but what ever you want to do is fine!

Cook them for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

I get about 25-30 bread sticks using this recipe depending on how I cut them. We usually can eat them with 2 or 3 meals (depending on how many the kids eat!) For the simplicity and the price of the ingredients you can't beat it!
