Breadsticks Recipe

This is a very delicious light and fluffy breadstick. Best breadstick recipe I have found!As other suggested I did reduce the sugar because I wanted more of a savory than a sweet bread. I also added about three-quarter cups extra flour. After waiting five minutes for the yeast and the sugar to foam up then I added the remaining bread ingredients into my KitchenAid stand mixer bowl and put on the hook attachment and let it run for about 6 minutes. It came out as perfect bread dough. I added fresh rosemary and Italian seasonings to my bread dough. This recipe is very flexible you can add your own seasonings to taste.

Soft, sweet breadsticks just the way I like them...the author says these are as close to the Olive Garden ones as she has tasted and I agree whole heartedly - I spray the tops if mine with water to get them nice and brown and then put the melted butter on immediately...also, i put whole cloves of garlic and a pinch of cayenne in the butter instead of garlic salt to give the butter a nice infused garlic flavor - it is worth mentioning that i live on a boat and make my recipes in a small Force Ten propane oven...our part of the marina always smells like fresh bread and tasty treats

Wow, this recipe really complemented my meal! I found I needed to add more flour to make the dough the right consistency, and after putting the toppings on at the end, I put them back in the oven for 1 minute to melt the Parmesan cheese. Worked great. Thanks for an easy and delicious bread stick! So much better than store-bought...I may even try freezing some to have on hand, but I'd need to make another batch. This first batch didn't last past one meal at my house. :)

Omit the sugar and only put in 2 tablespoons when you are proofing the yeast . 3 cups of flour and kneed for 8 minutes. After they are cooked brush on the butter and garlic salt (to taste - I used about 1/2 tsp) then sprinkle on the Parmesan and bake for an additional minute. I made it for my son, daughter and shared it with their socially distanced friends and they were all gone in a heartbeat. I should’ve doubled the recipe when sharing with 7 people.

This recipe was so perfect! But, if anyone wants to up it, I added Italian seasoning and basil to the dough. And, added it to the garlic/butter that I brushed on as well. I also used parchment paper as opposed to greasing a pan. Very fluffy and tasty.

These were delicious but the recipe needed WAY more flour than it called for (which is why I only gave it 4 stars). I probably added well over 1c of EXTRA flour beyond what the recipe stated. I also only used 1/2 stick of butter and found that was more than enough for the tops. I cut the sugar in half as well since I don't like my bread too sweet.

I made this today for the first time. Like many of the other reviewers, I ended up adding an extra 1/2 cup of flour to just get the dough to hold together and then 1/4 cup more when I turned out the dough onto the counter ,it was still very sticky. I added a clove of garlic to the dough itself and then to the butter at the end instead of garlic powder . Turned out delicious. I made the dough in my bread maker on the dough setting. Put all the wet ingredients on the bottom and the dry ingredients on the top and finish it with the yeast. I definitely will make again , but with the extra flour garlic and a bit less sugar .

I cheated a bit and used my dough setting on my bread maker. I had readthe reviews about needing more flour so I added 3/4 cup more. I think I’ll try 1/2 cup next time. I didn’t change anything else except using real garlic instead of garlic salt. We all really liked them and I’ll make them again!

I will make these again. After reading the other reviews I decided not to add sugar other than what goes in the yeast. These were great! Soft on the inside and really tender.

Unless you like sweet breadsticks, Use only 2Tbs sugar and will also need an extra 3/4 c flour.

Agree-way too much water. 1/2 c with yeast was plenty. I re-made it (I’m still a beginner bread maker) because I initially forgot to add the rest of the water, then did what others did, added over a cup of flour to get it workable. However, It was light, sweet and garlicky delicious!

They came out so fluffy and delicious! We will be making these again!

So easy and so delicious at the same time.

Not enough flour to start. You’ll need about a cup more.

This dough was way too wet. I had to add flour to be able to handle it at all. I am used to making bread, but these proportions were not right. Mediocre recipe.

Definitely add less sugar- it ended up tasting like a garlic butter donut and I wasn't a fan. Without the garlic butter, it could be a decent sweet bread for other things, but it's not suited to dip in soup and whatnot. I also had to add much more flour than the recipe said, almost a full cup. Overall it was okay I guess, but next time I'll look for a different recipe.

Excellent just like olive gardens. I did as others stated and cut the sugar down to 1 teaspoon in the yeast. Put the remaining in the flour mix.

The breadsticks turned out good; however, I had to add over a cup of flour. The recipe called for 2 1/4 cups of flour and after beating it for a considerable time, it was still very thin. Did I do something wrong to make it this way?

I followed other reviewers’ advice and used less sugar. Be prepared to add quite a bit of additional flour when making these. They were soft and looked just like the breadsticks at Olive Garden.

I bake a lot and this is the best bread stick dough I have ever used. All of the family loved it, including my hubby who doesn't care much for bread. If this doesn't work for you... it is you and not the recipe. Soooo good.
