Healthy Cheese Bread Sticks

Hi all.

I know it’s been a while that I posted here. I intended to post a few interesting preparations but a conscious health decision prevented me to do so. I am following a strict diet regime these days and indulging more into food surely is not going to help me on that. I will surely post in detail about the diet plan I am following in case I get positive results but for the time being this space is going to see more of health food.

As we all know that soups and salads are an important and unavoidable part of a diet plan. Even I’m indulging myself more into that. To go along with the wholesome, warm bowl of soup I made these bread sticks which are not only healthy but tasty too. These surely give a great crunch to the soup but are filling too. They make an extremely welcome snack, my kid is in love with it.

Cut strips of 1cm thickness lift gently and twist them.

Grease a baking sheet and place the sticks on it, apply milk wash lightly and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 12mins or till the edges starts browning. Do not over bake.
