I’m Alex, and I’m glad you are here. These homemade breadsticks deliver the soft, buttery, garlicky flavor you crave from your favorite restaurants. This recipe uses simple steps to create fluffy breadsticks perfect for any dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 4 tablespoons for topping
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let this mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This shows the yeast is active.
  2. Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Add the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Punch down the risen dough gently. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long, thin breadstick shape, about 8 to 10 inches long. Place the breadsticks on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between them.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the breadsticks are lightly golden brown.
  8. While the breadsticks bake, prepare the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.
  9. Immediately after removing the breadsticks from the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the warm breadsticks.
  10. Serve these warm, fluffy dinner rolls immediately for the best flavor.

Notes

  • If you want an extra cheesy breadsticks recipe, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese over the butter topping right after they come out of the oven.
  • For a quicker rise time, place the covered bowl in an oven that is turned off but has the light on.
  • These homemade breadsticks pair perfectly with marinara sauce for dipping.
