Like every foodie I like buying stuff for my kitchen. Most of the time is something that I actually need….. that`s most of the time. But there is these days where I get myself lost in the shops with the only idea of finding something interesting and new. For this special utensils I already have two cabinets dedicated to the idea of “something special”. These special things might be macaroons baking tray, fancy plates or bread sticks set. Today`s post is all about this cabinet and the bread sticks set.

The set includes- baking tray and recipes for sweet and savory bred sticks. In addition you would need Decopen, which I have from my macaroons set. And before you roll your eyes over these fancy utensils, let me tell you that you won`t need any of it if you decide to try the recipe. However it is easier and less messy with it.

Back to the recipe I must say I felt a bit disappointed. The enclosed recipe book promised to have enough dough for three batches, but even though I used weight scale the quantity was enough for two only. My frustration came up when following the instructions I cooked my first batch into the microwave. BIG BIG mistake. Yes they were cooked, but soggy and unappetizing. I never believe in a recipes for microwave and this is another proof not to. I preheat my oven and baked my second batch for 15 mins. And finally- success. Crispy, crunchy and delicious bread sticks.

I seasoned with some of my favorite spices- rosemary, sea salt and sesame seeds. But feel free to try your favorite- like BBQ powder, cayenne pepper, cumin….. the options are endless.
