Olive Garden Breadsticks

Olive Garden has to be on the top of the list of a family-friendly, and family favorite restaurant. The food is divine, it fills you up and everyone can get what they want. We may not always agree on what we all want as a main dish, but we can all agree on the endless basket of breadsticks. Because these Olive Garden breadsticks are so tasty, I set out to make them myself. And I think these copycat breadsticks taste even better than the ones from the restaurant. Now I just need an extra chef in the kitchen to keep an endless supply coming when we eat! These Olive Garden Breadsticks are really quite easy. And just like the copycat Olive Garden Dressing, these will taste even better made from scratch. Do not let working with yeast scare you, I’ve got all the ins and outs so that you can end up with perfectly fluffy on the inside, and crusty on the outside breadsticks. Then if the chewy tender texture wasn’t enough, I’m going to dazzle your tastebuds with a butter seasoning that is out of this world amazing! These copycat Olive Garden breadsticks are going to become your families go to recipe from now on!

Ingredients for Olive Garden Breadsticks

Similar to most breadsticks this is a very easy dough to assemble and make. Most the ingredients are right in your pantry!

Warm Water: Keep the temperature between 95 and 115 degrees for optimal fermentation.Active Dry Yeast: This is different from instant yeast. Granulated sugar: Feeds the yeast. Extra Virgin Olive oil: Classic flavor for breadsticks. Salt: Needed for flavor and balance. Flour: All-purpose or unbleached flour will work.

Brush on Garlic Butter

Take your copycat Olive Garden breadsticks to the next level with this garlic butter. It is a simple combination that is quick to melt together!

Unsalted Butter Melted: Using unsalted will ensure it isn’t too salty. Salt: The classic bit of saltiness that you find on the original. Garlic Powder: That nice garlic flavor that isn’t too overpowering. Fresh Parsley: Chopped, optional

How to Make Homemade Breadsticks

So delicious, so easy and done in no time! These Olive Garden breadsticks are a family favorite every time.

Yeast: There is a difference between Instant and Active dry yeast, but whichever one you have, proof both of them. Technically you do not have to prove the instant yeast, it does not require “activation” as active yeast does. But I like to “activate” my instant anyway. This way I know whether or not the yeast is good. If your yeast does not bubble and rise after 10 minutes, throw it out. It isn’t good anymore. Sugar: The sugar is to feed the yeast, do not worry it will not make your breadsticks taste sweet at all. Garlic: If you want a stronger Garlic flavor finely mince fresh garlic and stir into the melted butter. You can brush the garlic butter on the breadstick both before and after baking. Seasonings: Garlic and salt are the Olive Garden classic flavorings, but you can mix it up. Instead, use a teaspoon or two of Italian seasoning or Ranch seasoning. Sweeter: Turn these savory breadsticks into dessert by mixing cinnamon and sugar into the melted butter and spreading on top for a cinnamon breadstick treat. Double and Store: If I were you, I’d probably double this batch of breadsticks. They are so addictive you are going to want the extras, trust me. And if you do have leftovers they store in a plastic bag at room temperature for 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Warm the leftovers in foil in the oven till warm and tender on the inside.
