A Few Tips Before You Begin
- Allow about 2½ hours. Most of that is simply waiting for the dough to rise.
- Check your yeast. Use warm water around 110°F and give it 5–10 minutes to become bubbly or foamy.
- No stand mixer? No problem! You can mix and knead the dough by hand.
- Adult supervision: Have an adult help with the oven and hot pans.
Remember, we’re learning! Those breadsticks don’t have to look perfect to taste delicious.

A Quick Note About Proofing Yeast
Inside Junior Cooking Club, there is an entire breadmaking module that covers flour, yeast, kneading, proofing, and how to know when bread is ready.
For today’s sample lesson, here’s what you need to know:
Warm the water to approximately 110°F. Stir in the sugar and yeast, then let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes. When you see bubbles or foam forming, the yeast is active and ready to use.
If nothing happens, the water may have been too hot or too cold, or the yeast may no longer be active. It’s better to discover that now than after adding all your other ingredients!
Don’t Have Every Kitchen Tool?
That’s okay.
The video shows a stand mixer and bench scraper, but neither one is required. You can combine and knead the dough by hand and use a knife to divide it into breadsticks.
Use what you already have in your kitchen.
How Did Your Breadsticks Turn Out?
Whether they came out tall and fluffy, a little lopsided, or somewhere in between—your child made garlic butter breadsticks from scratch!
That is something to be proud of.
These breadsticks are wonderful served warm alongside spaghetti, soup, or another family meal. Your child hasn’t just completed a recipe—they’ve made something that can help feed the family.
