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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat the over to 400*. Bake the breadsticks for about 12-14 minutes. I like to brown them just a little bit.
- 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!
