Make your own Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks at home with this easy recipe you can make in your bread machine! 

I love to go to Olive Garden and eat their salad and breadsticks. I was able to make a copy cat Olive Garden Salad recipe but I knew I had to figure out how to make the breadsticks. They are so light and soft. I can’t afford to run to Olive Garden every time I want breadsticks!

So I got out my bread machine to make some breadsticks. We had friends coming over for dinner to eat Chicken Parmesan, so I knew that this would be a great meal to eat breadsticks.

I always use my bread machine to make the dough. I rarely ever actually bake bread in it. I am usually strapped for time – so my bread machine is a real time saver! I bet you have all these ingredients in your house!

Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks

• 1 cup and 2 tablespoons warm water
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 ¾  teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 3 ⅓  cups flour
• 1 ½  teaspoons instant yeast

Buttery Topping:

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼  teaspoon garlic powder
• ½  teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Spray your bread machine pan. Add all the ingredients to the bread machine according to the manufacture’s instructions. I always do wet ingredients, then dry ingredients, and then I make a hole in the flour to add the yeast. Set to dough cycle.
2. When the dough cycle is complete remove and split into 12 even balls. Roll them lengthwise to make a breadstick. Place on a grease cookie sheet. (It’s ok if they touch a little.) When you are all done cover and place in a warm spot to rise for about an hour.
3. Preheat the over to 400*.  Bake the breadsticks for about 12-14 minutes. I like to brown them just a little bit.
4. Melt butter and add garlic and salt. Brush over warm breadsticks and serve.

I am glad I had to share these with our dinner guests or I would have eaten a lot more. They are just like the ones you can get at Olive Garden. I will be making these again in the very near future!
