Homemade Italian Bread Sticks

[ricklude]

When the yeast didn't proof so well, I would have gone out and bought fresher yeast. BUT. . . . if looks like the bread sticks came out very well regardless.

Question: Do ya need yeast at all in the mix then or would ya end up with a long rock?

[TheVittleVlog]

@ricklude Don't know....don't bake much, just followed the recipe!! lol... Sorry!

[howardthecpa]

@ricklude I believe rapid rise and quick rise yeasts do not require proofing. You can throw it in with the flour, sugar, warm water(110deg), garlic salt. I use active dry yeast that I proof before making doughs and it gets good and foamy. Leave out the salt, of course when proofing. Also curious if the stick were crunchy or semi-soft?

[pastryparrot1]

Yummy, yummy, yummy. Nothing like homemade bread.

[OnePotChefShow]

They look yummy - I can't wait to try this out :)

[TheVittleVlog]

@OnePotChefShow Thanks Chef!!

[rockybarragan]

For some reason making my own bread scares me. I think I worry I'm going to end up with hockey pucks.

Mm, garlic salt. These look good!

[TheVittleVlog]

@rockybarragan I don't bake a lot either....lol...but these turned out well!! Thanks!!

[MrEZCooking]

Like I said the last time I knew you were a closet Italian! You could be the 4th goodfella! You know the one with the accent! Good sticks man!

[TheVittleVlog]

@MrEZCooking  lol....Thanks man!

[DrunknShooter]

Now all you need is a nice fresh salad and maybe a big bowl of soup.

I've never really baked anything with the exception of Jiffy cornbread and one or two box cakes but this looked easy enough I might be able to try. Thanks again Rick.

[TheVittleVlog]

@DrunknShooter Right on man!!

[murderdoll421]

mixing the yeast with warm water is for activation. Yeast is a living bacteria. when its in the jar or packet ( like you had) its kinda in a suspended animation where its not doing anything. the water brings them out of that. so they can rise the bread.

[TheVittleVlog]

@murderdoll421 Thanks for the information...I appreciate it!

[CookingwithKarma]

[TangoSpiceCompany]

Baking these at home is SO much better than buying them.

[TheVittleVlog]

@TangoSpiceCompany So true!! Thanks!

[deview123]

[ShaunieceCooks]

Now I'm not afraid of making bread! Thanks for this awesome recipe Mr. Rick!

[TheVittleVlog]

@ShaunieceCooks Your welcome!! Thanks for watching!!

[PlatypusGuitar]

I think baking sweets is easier than making bread. Its like theres a whole art to it and only a lot of practice makes perfect.

[TheVittleVlog]

@PlatypusGuitar I am with you on that!!

[pandmonium2k7]

Looked good.

[TheVittleVlog]

@pandmonium2k7 Thanks!

[iggywow]

would be cool to use this as a kind of substitute for garlic bread just ad some crushed garlic/dried :>

[TheVittleVlog]

@iggywow Great idea!

[SailfishSoundSystem]

I love your timer. I need to get something like that. My girlfriend melted my egg timer on the stove. Looks great man. 

[TheVittleVlog]

@SailfishSoundSystem It was my iphone..it works great!!

[tdjtx]

Nice, yea the yeast won't proof if the water is too hot or too cold. It should be around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

[TheVittleVlog]

@tdjtx Thanks for the info...I don't make a lot of bread!!

[shweetpotato]

now make a lasagna to go with those breadsticks :D

[TheVittleVlog]

@shweetpotato That does sound good!

[shweetpotato]

yumm yumm :D if you store your yeast in the freezer it lasts longer :D

[TheVittleVlog]

@shweetpotato Cool..Thanks for the tip!!

[bmeyer44]

yeah, if you look on the yeast packet, there is an expiration date....would still be tasty with sketti though!

[TheVittleVlog]

@bmeyer44 I'll do that...Thanks. Yeah, they tasted just fine..

[bmeyer44]

honey, i think your yeast was old..

[TheVittleVlog]

@bmeyer44 lol...is that the problem?? Thanks for watching!
