What sauce goes with breadsticks?
How could you possible make this recipe for breadsticks better? How about dipping them in a side sauce! I personally love spreading homemade garlic butter on them, but you can try my homemade ranch dressing.

If made ahead do they reheat well?
Lois says
I would make them ahead but not bake them. Keep them in the refrigerator on a baking tray wrapped in plastic wrap. Remove from the refrigerator about an hour before baking.
