Note

Storage: Store leftover breadsticks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 1 month.

Reheating: To restore crispiness, reheat in a 350ðF oven for 5-7 minutes.

Substitutions: You can substitute the baguette dough with any standard yeast bread dough. Try adding herbs like rosemary or oregano to the seed mixture for extra flavor.

Variations: For a different texture, try using sunflower seeds or flax seeds instead of or in addition to sesame and poppy seeds.

Tip: If you don't have a baking stone, you can bake the breadsticks directly on the inverted oven rack or a regular baking sheet.
