Basic pantry ingredients transform into irresistible breadsticks brushed with garlic butter. No special equipment required!
Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it foam. Add flour, salt, and oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, then let rise until doubled.
Divide dough, shape into breadsticks, and let rise again. Bake until golden at 400°F. Brush with garlic butter immediately after baking.
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Brush over warm breadsticks for that signature Olive Garden flavor.
Serve warm with marinara or alfredo sauce. Store leftovers in foil and reheat in the oven for best texture.
