Cinnamon bread sticks recipe

Cinnamon bread sticks

I have never tried any bakes with cinnamon yet, I guess mainly because my dear husband dislikes the flavor of cinnamon. But the other day when he got the cinnamon stick from some dish I made he said the cinnamon is very sweet and full of flavor and suggested me to try something with it.

From then I have been thinking of baking something with cinnamon, for once I thought will bake cinnamon rolls then I changed it to breads sticks.

I must say if you like cinnamon it’s difficult to stop munching on these, This recipe is quick and easy too

The recipe follows

Ingredient

Whole wheat flour – 1 cup

Butter – 1/3 cup

Egg – 1 no.

Milk – few spoons

Sugar -1 tbsp.

Salt – a pinch

For cinnamon sugar

1/3 cup sugar

½ tsp. cinnamon powder

Vanilla powder – a very tiny pinch

Method

• Bring together the flour, butter, sugar; egg and salt and gently knead with your fingers. Add few spoons of milk to bring the ingredients together. Once the dough is formed refrigerate it for an hour.
• After an hour remove the dough and leave it outside for 30 minutes.
• Mix the sugar, cinnamon powder and vanilla powder well and keep aside. (Add vanilla essence if u don’t have vanilla powder)
• Take a grocery packet (plastic packet of atta or any other grocery). Put the dough in the packet and then fatten the dough, roll it flat. You should be able to roll the dough into a perfect square/rectangle as the dough is concealed in the cover. Once the dough is rolled gently cut open two sides of the cover and lift one side of the cover. You see rolled dough in square/rectangle shape.
• Now sprinkle the cinnamon sugar well around
• Now fold the dough sheet into half. and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar yet again on top of it.
• Now using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife cut the folded sheet  into couple of strips.
• Now grab a strip at the folded end and twist as though you are wringing a wash cloth. 
• Place each strips on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
• Bake the sticks at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15- 20 minute until the top is browned.
• Remove and place each stick on a wire rack to cool.

Serve with milk, tea or coffee and enjoy !
