A buttery, soft, and garlicky copycat of Olive Garden’s famous breadsticks made with simple pantry staples in an easy 5-step process.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (420 g)
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (one packet)
  • 2 tbsp sugar (25 g)
  • 1 tsp salt (6 g)
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (300 ml)
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (85 g)
  • 2 tsp garlic powder (4 g)
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley (2 g)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Warm the water to about 110°F (43°C). Stir in sugar and yeast, let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix and knead the dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and 2 tbsp melted butter. Stir until shaggy dough forms. Knead on floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Let the dough rise: Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  4. Shape and second rise: Punch down dough, divide into 12 pieces. Roll each into 6-inch ropes and place on parchment-lined baking sheet spaced 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise 20 minutes.
  5. Bake and brush with garlic butter: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake breadsticks 12–15 minutes until golden. Mix remaining 4 tbsp melted butter with garlic powder and parsley, brush on hot breadsticks.

Notes

Do not rush the dough rising times to avoid dense breadsticks. Use real unsalted butter for best flavor. Brush garlic butter immediately after baking while breadsticks are hot for best absorption. Dough can be scaled up or down. For gluten-free or vegan variations, see substitutions.
