    Butter Herb Breadsticks just like a Fabulous Restaurant's Breadsticks Recipe

    Are you a fan of a certain Italian restaurant? Personally, I can't get enough of the lunch soup and salad--in fact, I love it so much that I make my favorites at home on a pretty regular basis. My favorite is Copycat Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe and while it's not the same salad, I absolutely love this Italian Chopped Salad--hello, just add the restaurant's Salad Dressing and you're good to go!

    Pair it up with some delicious Hazelnut Cheesecake Layered Dessert, and you've got a meal ready to go.

    Ingredients
     
     

    Dough:

    • 1 packet instant dry yeast ¼ oz
    • 1 ¼ cup warm water
    • 4 ¼ cups all purpose flour plus extra for dusting
    • 2 tbsp sugar
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
    • 2 tsp salt

    Topping:

    • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
    • ½ tsp kosher salt
    • ¼ tsp garlic powder

    Instructions
     

    • In a warm bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast with warm water. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy
    • Add salt, melted butter and about 2 cups of the flour. Knead dough for about 5 minutes, adding more flour as necessary.
    • Spray baking pan with cooking spray. Divide dough into small balls, large enough to fill about ⅓ cup. Make larger if desired but not too large as your bread will rise.
    • Roll and shape dough into cigar shapes. Place in baking pan at least 1 inch apart. Let stand for about 1 hour, covered a clean cloth.
    • Bake 7 minutes at 375F. While baking, combine melted butter, garlic powder/seasoning and salt for brushing.
    • Pull baking sheet out of oven, brush the bread sticks with the seasoned, melted butter. Return to oven, bake another 8 - 10 minutes.
    • Brush with remaining seasoned butter. Serve warm.

      I can save you lots of time for these. Olive Garden just buys Gai's brand bread sticks you can get at any supermarket and brushes them with garlic butter. Yours however look far more delicious!!!

      It looks amazing! How many breadsticks does this make at 5 or 6 inches long?

      The bread recipe calls for 1 tbsp salt? Should that say 1tsp?

      I have made this recipe at least a half dozen times already and I have to say this recipe is soooo good. First couple of times I made the recipe as bread sticks. But I have also used it to make ham and cheese hot pockets and as pizza dough. It's that good.
