Description
Learn how to make delicious Olive Garden-style breadsticks that are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.
- Add salt, vegetable oil, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is soft yet slightly sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Place the kneaded dough into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for at least 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough gently. Divide it into 12 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a 9-inch rope and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Cover the shaped breadsticks with a towel and let them rise again for 20-30 minutes.
Notes
- For best results, use warm water (about 110°F) to activate the yeast.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic salt based on personal preference.
- These breadsticks are best served warm and can be brushed with additional melted butter after baking.
