Breadsticks are so versatile and universally adored, it's worth adding this recipe to your regular rotation and making them whenever you need a not-the-usual snack, or to serve with cocktails, salads, soups, or other dishes where a crunchy accompaniment would improve the enjoyment. These are seasoned with fennel seeds, for a classic flavor profile, and they are great fun to make. Just be sure not to overwork the dough when mixing, and to allow it ample time to rest before rolling, cutting, and baking.
