Breadstick Breadstick

Breadstick - Definition and Overview

Breadsticks are pencil-sized sticks of crispy, dry bread originating in Turin and the surrounding area in Italy. They are thought to have been created in the 17th century.

The original recipe (as still made in Turin) differs from the modern version in that it is thicker, longer, hand-made, often twisted and has a more bread-like texture.

They are often placed on the table in restaurants as an appetiser.
