Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1.50 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Stir with a whisk or spoon to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

3. Incorporate Butter:
Cut the 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces, then add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Add Wet Ingredients:
Slowly pour in the 1/2 cup of nonfat milk. Stir gently to combine until you have a slightly sticky dough.

5. Mix in Cheese and Flaxseed:
Fold in the 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese and the 1 tablespoon of flaxseed. Mix until these ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Knead the Dough:
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead the dough a few times just until it comes together completely and feels smooth (do not over-knead).

7. Shape the Breadsticks:
Divide the dough into equal portions (depending on how thick you want your breadsticks). Roll each portion into a thin cylinder or stick shape, about 6 to 8 inches in length.

8. Arrange and Prepare for Baking:
Place the shaped breadsticks onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart to allow for even baking.

9. Bake:
Insert the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the breadsticks are lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.

10. Cool and Serve:
Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
