Rosemary & Garlic Wheat Bread Sticks
This is my first attempt with wheat in baking and it was really good.I always want to try with wheat but something stops me.(first of all my kashif doesn’t like anything with wheat even chapathi)But this one i made for hubby who love to munch on such oil free snacks.Some maida is added.
My younger one loved it.No surprise in that because he eat whatever that’s crispy and crunchy!Hehe!But this one i’m so happy because it’s a good option.This bread sticks is perfect to serve along with soups and pastas.
