Quick and Easy Cinnamon Breadsticks made with whole wheat flour. Makes a great snack for kids. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 cup skim milk |
1/2 cup butter |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425*
2. Measure your flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder into it. Stir the dry ingredients together. Pour in your milk. Stir with a big spoon until you get a ball of dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. You may have to dust the ball of dough with a little flour if it seems sticky to you. Gently knead the ball of dough right there in the bowl about 5 or 6 times.
3. Now place your dough on the counter. Using a rolling pin or sturdy bottle roll the dough out into a rectangle shape. You are aiming for a rectangle that will fit into a 9 by 13-inch pan. When you get the dough the right size, set it aside.
4. Meanwhile place the butter in a 9 by 13-inch pan. Place the pan in the oven at 425°. Allow the pan to preheat and the margarine to melt.
5. When the butter is melted, carefully remove the pan from the oven. It will be very hot, so don't burn yourself. Sprinkle the second teaspoon of cinnamon into the pan.
6. Now, very carefully lay your rectangle of dough into the pan, over top of the margarine. Next cut the rectangle into narrow strips. I use a pizza cutter for this because it seems to work the best. A sharp knife will work too though, so use what you have available. My method of cutting is to cut the dough in half and then cut each half in half and then each quarter in half, going on and on until I have a lot of narrow strips of dough. The margarine will creep up between the strips. This is normal. It is what gives these bread sticks their texture. After cutting your strips, place the pan in the oven, still at 425°, and bake them for 20 minutes. They will be brown and crispy when they are done.
