Homemade Breadsticks

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, whisking together until well blended.

Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms, about 1 minute.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 2–3 times to bring it together, being careful not to overwork it.

Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin or your hands.

Cut the dough into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4–5 inches long using a pastry wheel or sharp knife.

Place the breadstick strips on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until the breadsticks are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.

Remove from the oven and transfer the breadsticks to a wire rack to cool for 2–3 minutes before serving.
