💡Tips
1. Don’t Overwork The Dough
When you’re mixing your ingredients, it’s important not to overwork the mixture. Stir everything just until it’s combined and holds together.
If you mix too much, the cheese can start to separate and release oils, which can make your breadsticks greasy.
If you find the mixture is too sticky to work with, try chilling it in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
This will firm up the cheese a bit and make it easier to handle. When you’re shaping the dough, use a light touch.
2. Shaping for Crispiness
The shape and thickness of your breadsticks can affect how crispy they get. You might get crispier bread sticks by shaping individual breadsticks.
Try dividing the mixture into 8-10 portions and shaping each into a stick about 1/2 inch thick.
Space them out on the baking sheet so they’re not touching – this allows hot air to circulate around each stick.
3. Dipping Sauce Ideas
While these breadsticks are tasty on their own, having a dipping sauce can make them even more enjoyable.
Try melting some butter and mixing in herbs or spices for a simple sauce. Another idea is to mix some soft cheese like cream cheese with a bit of warm bone broth for a creamy dip.
Remember to stick to carnivore friendly ingredients when making your dips. That’s super important.

FAQ
1. Why did my breadsticks turn out too soft?
If your breadsticks are too soft, it usually means they need more time in the oven. Every oven is different, and sometimes you might need to bake them for an extra 2-3 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
2. Can I freeze these breadsticks?
Yes, these breadsticks freeze really well! After they’ve cooled completely, put them in a freezer bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months.
When you want to eat them, don’t thaw them first – just put them straight from the freezer into a 350°F oven for about 8-10 minutes until they’re hot and crispy again.
