Homemade Bread Sticks for Baby
by Rachel Paxton
Is your baby teething? Homemade bread sticks are easy to make
and are great teething biscuits for older babies. You can make
bread sticks out of most any kind of bread by baking at a low
temperature (150-200 degrees) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until
bread sticks are hard and crunchy.
For the recipes below, after baking, let bread cool. Slice bread
into "sticks" and bake at 150-200 degrees for 1 hour. Store in
airtight container. Your baby will love it!
