Best Bacon Wrapped Sesame Bread Sticks Recipes

BACON WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• After the brown sugar has air-dried a bit, add the chili seasoning and mix with fingers to blend well.
• Take a bacon rasher and dip it into the sugar, pressing sugar in lightly on both sides.
• Wrap, barber-pole style around a breadstick and place on a greased (I use olive oil) baking pan or cookie sheet.
• Repeat with as many bacon rashers as you have left.
• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Roast until bacon is cooked and you can see sugar has caramelized- make sure it's cooked and not burnt- about 8-10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and CAREFULLY pick up breadstick and place on a large platter to harden (the breadsticks will be soft at this point but will harden as they cool).
• This must be done immediately, otherwise the caramelized sugar will set and it will be impossible to get your breadsticks out of the pan.

BACON BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Cut slice of bacon in half (vertically). Dip bacon in cheese and wrap around breadstick, cheese against bread. Dip outside of bacon-breadstick in cheese also. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until bacon is crisp. Serve cold or warm.

BACON TWISTS AKA BACON WRAPPED BREADSTICKS

Steps:

• Knead the dough for 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
• Divide the dough into 12 evenly sized pieces and roll each one into a sausage shape. Now is the time to grease a baking sheet.
• Wind a strip of bacon around each dough "sausage".
• Brush the "sausages" with beaten egg and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 400 Bake the "sausages" for 20-25 minutes, until cooked and browned.

BACON-WRAPPED BREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Cut bacon strips in half and lay them out on a cutting board. Break the bread sticks into 4-inch lengths. Sprinkle the bacon with brown sugar so that the bacon is completely coated. Press the sugar onto the bacon with your fingers. Continue to sprinkle sugar and press it on until no more sugar will adhere.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Set a rack over a foil-lined baking sheet. Roll the bacon strips, sugar side in, around the bread sticks in a spiral fashion. Be sure to begin as close to the bread stick edge as possible and roll very tightly. Place seam side down on the rack. Bake about 20 minutes, but watch carefully so that the sugar doesn't burn in the last minutes of cooking. Remove them from the oven and let rest for an hour on the rack to become firm.

BACON WRAPPED BREAD STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 375 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine Cheese and all spices, return to shaker jar. Shake jar well before each use.
• I use a broiler pan with a rack and line the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil, you can use a cookie sheet also if you don't have a pan with a rack, it just might take longer to get the bacon crispy.
• Take a slice of bacon and gently squeeze up and down to stretch without breaking or separating it. Start wrapping at the top end of a bread stick and wrap completely to the bottom end. Be careful, the bread sticks are crispy and will break if you are not gentle. Lay wrapped bread stick so it is perpendicular on the rack (if you place it parallel, it will fall through when cooking). Continue until you have filled the rack, leaving about 1/4 inch gap between each bread stick. Sprinkle each bread stick generously with Cheese mixture. Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes or until bacon is cooked. When bacon is done, remove from oven and sprinkle with additional cheese mixture. Let stand 5 minutes to cool and let the cheese set. Using tongs, transfer to serving platter. When completely cooled, cover with aluminum foil. (If you cover when warm, steam will build up and make them mushy.).
• You can serve these cold, but if you'd like you can also heat them up in a 375 degree oven for about 5-10 minutes. Remove the foil if reheating.
• Notes:
• 1. I buy store brand regular sliced bacon (the cheaper the better). for a party, I go to SAMS Club and buy the cheap bacon in bulk.
• 2. Check your bread sticks carefully when you purchase them -- often some are broken and you'll need as many whole sticks as you can get. If any are broken you'll need to buy additional packages to have enough to use a pound of bacon, which is 16 slices. I love the Garlic Flavored ones, but this is also great with the Rosemary Flavored, Sesame Seed and Plain ones.
• 3. Cut Garlic Powder in half if using the Garlic Flavored Bread sticks. Cut Rosemary in half if using the Rosemary Flavored Sticks.
• 4. Omit the Cayenne if you don't want that little bite.
• 5. If you are only making 16 sticks, you'll have plenty of the cheese mix leftover and it is great on pasta!
• 6. I love prosciutto and thought these would be wonderful made with it -- however it won't work because there is not enough fat to keep the prosciutto stuck to the bread stick. It shrinks when baked and splits and makes a big messy looking thing. If you want to use prosciutto, I'd suggest dipping the bread sticks in an egg wash before wrapping. Also, prosciutto is much more expensive than bacon.
