Olive Garden Breadsticks Recipe

Print Recipe

Olive Garden Breadsticks are soft, buttery sticks topped with a garlic butter blend and a sprinkle of Parmesan and Italian herbs, perfect for pairing with any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • 1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  • 2. Add flour, softened butter, and salt. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
  • 3. Cover dough and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • 4. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-7 inch breadstick.
  • 5. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet, 1-2 inches apart. Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
  • 6. Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush breadsticks with melted butter.
  • 7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • 8. Brush hot breadsticks with remaining butter and sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Use warm water to activate yeast properly.
  • Do not over-flour dough; keep slightly sticky for fluffy breadsticks.
  • Butter blend brushed twice enhances flavor and moisture.
  • Serve warm for best texture and taste.
