Matthew'S Breadsticks
Delicious, buttery breadsticks with a crispy exterior and soft interior, perfect as an appetizer or snack for casual gatherings and family meals.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerator biscuits ⓘ
- 1/2 stick margarine
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and melt the margarine in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Separate the refrigerator biscuits into 10 pieces.
- Roll each piece into a long, thin snake shape and place in the pan with melted margarine.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding garlic powder or Italian herbs to the melted margarine before dipping the breadsticks. If you want a vegan alternative, substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter. Rolling the biscuits into longer shapes may require some patience, but it will enhance the presentation and texture of the breadsticks. For a sweeter option, try sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these breadsticks warm as a delightful appetizer or snack. They pair wonderfully with marinara sauce or garlic dip for an extra kick. Consider serving them alongside a fresh salad, like a Fruit Salad In Orange Juice, or with a hearty soup for a comforting meal. They also make a great side for pasta dishes, enhancing your overall dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled breadsticks in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F and warm the breadsticks for about 5-7 minutes until they regain their crispness. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some of their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade biscuit recipe, feel free to use it. Just ensure the dough is soft enough to roll into snake shapes. The baking time may vary slightly, so keep an eye on them as they bake.
How can I make these breadsticks more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, you can mix in grated cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella, into the biscuit dough or sprinkle it on top before baking. Adding chopped herbs or spices can also elevate the taste, making them a perfect companion for soups or salads.
Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the rolled-out breadsticks before baking. Place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, simply thaw and bake as directed. This way, you can enjoy fresh breadsticks anytime!
