CRISPY and Quick BREADSTICKS with BACON, tasty and quick, cooked in an air fryer, a fun idea to make in a short time, perfect as an appetizer, snack, or finger food.
Today I’ll tell you how this quick and delicious recipe came about. I had my son’s friends coming over last minute, dinner was ready, but I needed something to munch on with the aperitif. In the pantry, only flour, oil, and in the fridge, a pack of bacon that I absolutely needed to use.
So I improvised these breadsticks with bacon without yeast, super quick, cooked in the air fryer in a few minutes. Way better than the store-bought ones! The basic dough is very simple: flour, water, oil, oregano, and diced bacon. No waiting for rising: prepare, shape, and cook right away.
In the air fryer, they become crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside, perfect also as a rustic appetizer for a dinner with friends or to bring to a picnic.
You can enrich them with rosemary, Parmesan, or sesame seeds before baking. Or wrap them and leave them in the fridge until ready to cook.
