I love Sundays because it's the only time of the week I can wake up at 9 and laze around in bed all day long, and spending time in the kitchen doing something I love. 

And I love Sundays because I get to eat what I want to. Like these breadsticks. 

It doesn't take many ingredients. In fact all of these ingredients are my pantry staples at home. I always use dried oregano to season up meat, pasta, or any savoury dishes, and of course butter, flour and yeast are always at home. Always. 

This is a simple bread for beginners, but it's not the usual fluffy soft bread. It's a super crunchy stick with the heartiness and flavour of an artisan bread. Made in stick form for comfort and hand-held goodness. These breadsticks are great for bringing for afternoon teas and snacks with friends because they are so easy to eat and dunk into just about any sauces or eaten in its plain glorious form.
