Key Ingredients
- Water – you will need to mix the yeast with warm water to activate it. It should be lukewarm, around 95-110 degrees F.
- Yeast – this recipe calls for active dry yeast which needs to be “proofed” in warm water along with a little sugar.
- Sugar – white granulated sugar works great, but you could also substitute honey or maple syrup.
- Einkorn Flour – you will need all-purpose Einkorn Flour to make these breadsticks. If can be a little tricky to find in stores but is easy to purchase online.
- Butter – the butter should be melted or incredibly soft so that you can spread it over the dough before adding the sugar.
- Brown Sugar – either light or dark brown sugar will work – it just depends on how deep of a molasses flavor that you want.
- Cinnamon – use your favorite type of ground cinnamon.
Vanilla Glaze
- Powdered Sugar – I like to use powdered sugar in glazes because it keeps a silky smooth texture.
- Milk – you may need to add a touch more milk to get the glaze to the right consistancy.
- Vanilla Extract – pure vanilla extract has the best flavor.
How to Make Cinnamon Breadsticks with Einkorn Flour
- Proof the yeast. In a stand mixer bowl, add the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Mix the dough. Add the avocado oil and about 3½ cups of Einkorn flour and mix on low for about 2 minutes. Add the last cup of flour about 1/4 cup at a time, just until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and isn’t sticky (you want to add enough flour so your dough is firm enough to hold a shape but still soft).
- Let the dough rise. Gently place a kitchen towel or plastic wrap over the dough and let it rise for about 10 minutes.
- Roll and shape the breadsticks. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out into a rectangle that is about 1/3″-1/2″ thick. Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the top. Cut into 1″ strips and twist the breadsticks. Lay on a greased cookie sheet, then sprinkle again with ground cinnamon.
- Let the breadsticks rise again. Let sit for 10 more minutes or until double. (**Hack–put the baking sheet with the breadsticks in the oven for a minute to warm the pan up. Take the pan back out of the oven and continue to rise. It will help your breadsticks rise twice as fast if your pan is warm.)
- Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden.
- Make the vanilla glaze. While the Einkorn Cinnamon Breadsticks are baking, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl.
- Serve. Once the breadsticks have baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the breadsticks. Serve immediately or store in a freezer bag or another airtight container. Enjoy!

- Chocolate Hazelnut: Spread Nutella on the dough before rolling and slicing into breadsticks.
- Lemon Blueberry: Add lemon zest and dried blueberries to the dough then top with a lemon glaze after baking for extra sweetness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Einkorn flour?
The easiest way to buy Einkorn flour is to order it online. You can find all types of Einkorn flour at Einkorn.com.
How long should you bake breadsticks?
In a 350 degree oven, it should take between 15-18 minutes for your cinnamon breadsticks to bake. You are looking for them to get lightly golden brown around the edges.
Recipe Tips
- Roll your dough out like you would for cinnamon rolls. Be sure to keep the dough at least a 1/3″ thick.
- Mix up the glaze while your cinnamon sticks are baking.
- Don’t add the glaze until the einkorn cinnamon sticks have cooled for at least 5 minutes. If you drizzle the vanilla glaze too soon, it will melt and you won’t be able to see the pretty white drizzle on the breadsticks.
- Store in an airtight gallon bag or a Tupperware container. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Notes
Storing instructions: store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Reheating: reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or in a preheated 350 degree oven for a few minutes.
Make-ahead tips: you can make the dough the day before, let it rise once, then cover with plastic and store in the fridge overnight. The next day, remove the bowl from the fridge and let it come to temperature while you preheat the oven. Shape and bake as directed.
To help speed up the rising time, put the baking sheet with the breadsticks in the oven for a minute to warm the pan up. Take the pan back out of the oven and continue to rise. It will help your breadsticks rise twice as fast if your pan is warm.
