A sesame and herb breadstick is a crisp, baked bread snack seasoned with sesame, nigella seeds and herbs. It can be eaten on its own or served alongside soup, cheese or dips.
A sesame and herb breadstick is generally made with flour, water, oil, sesame seeds, nigella seeds and herbs. Recipes vary, and packaged versions may use different seasonings or dough ingredients, so the exact recipe depends on the product.
Serve a sesame and herb breadstick as a crunchy snack, with soup, or on a cheese board with olives and dips. Add it just before eating when serving it with soup or a spread so it stays crisp.
Keep a sesame and herb breadstick in an airtight container in a cool, dry place after opening. Exposure to humid air makes it lose its crunch; follow the package’s storage instructions if they specify otherwise.
Yes, you can make a sesame and herb breadstick at home by mixing sesame, nigella seeds and herbs into bread dough, shaping it into thin sticks and baking until crisp. Making it yourself also lets you adjust the seasoning.
A sesame and herb breadstick usually goes soft after absorbing moisture from the air or from a dip. Store it sealed and dry, and avoid leaving it uncovered on the table; a brief bake can restore some crispness.
Yes, a sesame and herb breadstick can be frozen in a well-sealed freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw it fully, then warm it briefly in the oven if needed to bring back some of its crisp texture.
Not exactly: grissini are Italian breadsticks, while a sesame and herb breadstick describes a seasoned variety that may be made in different styles. Both are typically long, baked and crisp, but recipes and thickness can vary.
Yes, a sesame and herb breadstick pairs well with hummus. Its toasted seed and herb flavors complement the creamy dip; serve the breadsticks separately and dip as you eat to keep them from becoming soggy.
Yes, you can use a sesame and herb breadstick instead of croutons by breaking it into bite-sized pieces over soup. Add the pieces just before serving, since they soften faster once they absorb liquid.

A Sesame and herb breadstick is a slim, crisp savoury bake made from dough, usually with sesame, nigella seeds and herbs scattered through or over it. It is a Turkish-style take on the familiar breadstick, sold by bakeries and shops as well as made at home; there is no single regional origin to it.
In Turkey, these crunchy sticks are commonly set out with tea, alongside cheese and olives at breakfast, or served with soup. Their dry snap and toasted, seed-rich flavour make them easy to nibble, though the flour-based recipe is mainly a source of carbohydrates, with some fat and protein from the seeds. For a lighter snack, keep to a small handful and pair them with fresh vegetables or a yoghurt dip.
