Ingredients
whole wheat flour
1 cup (measured)
all-purpose flour
1 cup (measured)
sea salt
1 teaspoon (measured)
unsalted butter
1/2 cup (melted)
goat's milk
1/2 cup (measured)
honey

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sea salt, Italian seasoning, melted butter, goat's milk, and honey. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
3
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to approximately half an inch thick.
4
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into finger-width slices, then cut each slice in half to create pieces roughly 4 inches long.
5
Take each piece and roll it in optional parmesan cheese, lengthening it to about 6 inches and shaping it to be around 3/4 inch thick. To achieve this, start rolling with your fingers together and gradually spread them wider as you roll.
6
Place the prepared breadsticks on the lined cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the breadsticks are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7
Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
