Italian Bread Sticks Recipe (Bread Maker)

Italian Bread Recipes

Italian bread sticks recipe Michele Romano style. Baked and ate hot out of the oven, what a delightful addition to any Italian meal.

They are also very sinful for the waistline. I don’t know about you, but all these buns, breads and rolls are big weaknesses of mine!

You’ll need al the self control you can muster. Especially fresh baked and served warm with an Italian appetizer platter or with a big bowl of pasta. Well, as they say moderation is the key…lol.

I like to experiment with all my bread and bread maker recipes for buns and bread and pizza dough. I do this by adding whole wheat flour, rye flour or rice and oat flours. Of course we all know that most these recipes are the best with the good old fashioned white flour.

These are incredibly soft and tasty.
