Step 2 Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes and then cut it in long pieces
For 3 to 4 minutes, knead and punch the dough on a floured surface until it turns soft and smooth. After that, roll it in a long but even log. Now cut into 16 pieces, each between 1 to 1 ½ inch long.

Step 3 Knead the long pieces and make breadsticks with them
Individually knead these pieces and make 7-inch long breadsticks. You can decide the length on your own. In a baking dish, spread a baking sheet and put the breadsticks 1 to 2 inch apart from each other.
