breadstick

Elongated crispy roll

A breadstick is a long, thin piece of bread, typically crisp and dry, served as an appetizer or alongside meals at restaurants, especially Italian ones.

Breadsticks range from pencil-thin and crunchy to soft and chewy, sometimes brushed with garlic butter or topped with seeds.

The waiter brought a basket of breadsticks while we looked at the menu.
