Ingredients

  • cups water lukewarm (95-110 degrees F)
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/8 cup avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cups all-purpose einkorn flour
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a stand mixer bowl, add the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes, or until bubbly.
  • 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).
  • Gently place a kitchen towel or plastic wrap over the dough and let it rise for about 15 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • 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 sit for 15-20 more minutes, or until double.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until golden.
  • While the breadsticks are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl. Once the breadsticks have baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then drizzle the glaze over the top.
  • Serve immediately or store in a freezer bag or another airtight container.  Enjoy!

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.
