Instructions

• 1 Direction To prepare Olive Garden Breadstick with Garlic Topping
  • 1 Dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water in a small bowl and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. Combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • 2 Add the softened butter and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients.
  • 3 Mix everything until a soft and smooth dough forms.
  • 4 Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and no longer sticky.
  • 5 After kneading, transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
  • 6 Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for approximately 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • 7 Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next, punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions.
  • 8 Roll each portion into a 9-inch (23 cm) long breadstick and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • 9 Cover the breadsticks with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • 10 Bake the risen breadsticks in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  • 11 In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley flakes, and a pinch of salt.
  • 12 Once the breadsticks are baked, immediately brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture while they're still warm.
