Olive Garden-style breadsticks Recipe

Italian-American · Bread · 35 min total

Soft, buttery breadsticks brushed with garlic butter and salted, just like the ones at Olive Garden. Perfect for dipping in soup or marinara sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg, beaten
• For topping: 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
4. Punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch rope. Place on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake breadsticks for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
6. While baking, mix melted butter and garlic powder. Brush over hot breadsticks and sprinkle with salt.

Tips

• For extra softness, brush with butter immediately after baking.
• Serve warm with marinara sauce or Alfredo for dipping.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
