Questions about Plain bread stick
How do you keep bread sticks crisp?
Let them cool completely after opening, then keep them in an airtight tin or container in a cool, dry cupboard. If they soften, spread them out and warm them in a low oven for a few minutes.
Can you crisp up a stale bread stick?
Yes. Put it in a single layer on a baking tray and warm it at 150°C for 3–5 minutes; let it cool before eating, as it will crisp further.
What goes well with bread sticks?
Serve them with hummus, tapenade or soft cheese, or alongside soup. Wrap a slice of cured ham around each stick for an easy antipasti-style bite.
How much does one bread stick weigh?
A small bread stick is about 5–6 g; a larger one is around 10 g. They are easy to eat by the handful, so portion a few out rather than snacking straight from the packet.
Are grissini the same as bread sticks?
Grissini are Italian bread sticks, usually long, thin and crisp. The names are often used for much the same kind of baked snack, though recipes and thickness differ.
Do wholemeal bread sticks have more fibre than plain ones?
Yes. Wholemeal bread sticks provide 11.3 g of fibre per 100 g, compared with 3 g in plain bread sticks.
What can you use instead of a bread stick?
Use a breadstick or crispbread for dipping, or toasted strips of baguette when you want something sturdier alongside soup or cheese.
