I must admit I had never made bread stick myself before. It is as easy and fast as it can be. I love their rustic shapes, none looking like the other. And they even survive several days in the open without getting stale and or losing their crunch.<br \/>\nThey go well with dips as a starter. My kids like them as a snack to go.
