Steps
Method 1 of 4: Make the dough
Prepare the dough first so it can rest while you work on the decorations.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 190 ° C while you prepare the dough and decorations
Step 2. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water in a medium sized bowl
Step 3. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, until bubbly
Step 4. Add the salt and 325g of flour to the yeast mixture
Step 5. Mix and blend the ingredients by hand, or using a planetary mixer
Step 6. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour, a few tablespoons at a time
The dough will be ready when it comes off the bowl, or when it forms a ball around the kneading attachment.
Step 7. Flour the cutting board or work surface generously to prepare to roll out the dough
Step 8. Transfer the ball of dough to the floured surface and let it rest for 10 minutes
You can cover it with a clean kitchen towel, or choose to let it rest uncovered.
Method 2 of 4: Prepare the Decoration
You can make the cinnamon decoration while the dough is resting.
Step 1. Transfer the 8 tablespoons of butter to the pan
Step 2. Place it in the hot oven
It will take a few minutes for the butter to melt, do not lose sight of it to avoid burning it and remove it from the oven in time.
Step 3. Mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter with sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl
Step 4. When the cinnamon mixture reaches a creamy consistency, set it aside
Method 3 of 4: Shape the breadsticks from the dough
Now you are ready to knead the dough you left to rest, forming your breadsticks.
Step 1. Lightly knead the dough for a few minutes
Step 2. Roll it out giving it the size of the pan
Step 3. Use a pizza wheel or knife to make strips about 4cm wide
You should be able to get 12 breadsticks.
Step 4. Place each breadstick in the melted butter contained in the pan, covering each side
Step 5. Line up all the breadsticks in the pan and, if necessary, use more than one
Step 6. Pour the cinnamon mixture over the bread sticks
Step 7. Let the breadsticks rise at room temperature for about 20 minutes
Step 8. Bake the breadsticks in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes
Step 9. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes
Method 4 of 4: Make the Icing
While the breadsticks are baking in the oven, you can prepare the glaze.
Step 1. In a medium bowl, mix and blend the sugar, milk and cream cheese using a spatula
Step 2. Add the vanilla
Step 3. Continue mixing the ingredients until you have a smooth glaze that is liquid enough to pour over the breadsticks
If necessary, you can incorporate small, gradual amounts of milk to dilute it.
Step 4. Sprinkle the slightly cooled breadsticks with the glaze
You can dip a whisk into the icing and drop it onto the breadsticks, perhaps creating a figure with intertwined lines.
Step 5. Serve hot
Step 6. Finished
Advice
- If necessary, you can prepare the breadsticks with ready-made dough.
- Sprinkle the breadsticks with the glaze while they are still hot, but not hot.
- Keep the butter warm in the pan by placing it on the stove on low to avoid burning it.
- If you have a leftover icing, you can dilute it further with milk and use it as an accompaniment to breadsticks.
- If you don't have time to soften the butter and cream cheese by bringing them to room temperature, you can use the microwave on low power.
