Thrifty Three Ingrdient Dough Sticks

Making bread can often seem like a complicated or difficult process, and while there’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread baking in your oven, there is a lot that can go wrong. I like to keep things super simple with these three-ingredient dough sticks that can be made from ingredients you’d typically have in your cupboard and fridge.

Bread can be pretty difficult to come by at the moment during the current pandemic so lots of us may well be thinking about baking our own.

Thrifty Three Ingrdient Dough Sticks

These dough sticks are easy to make and perfect for getting the children involved with too. While they aren’t quite as nice a proper loaf they are perfect for dipping into pasta or olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It’s also easy to add a few other ingredients for extra flavour if you have them. I’ve used rosemary and garlic as an example below but other options could include olives, thyme or sprinkling the dough sticks with sesame or poppy seeds.

Reasons I love making dough sticks:

• Ready in 10 minutes, bakes in 15-20
• Cheap to prepare
• No yeast needed
• Can be made from typical store cupboard ingredients
• Easy to add other ingredients for extra flavour

Method

5. Remove the dough and split into 10 even balls
6. Roll each ball into a long sausage shape as pictured below
