    I am pretty sure Olive Gardenย Breadsticksย are one of the most amazing treats out there! I don't know about you but I eye stalk the breadsticks until the waitress brings them to our table.

    My eyes follow the breadsticks around the restaurant until a nice warm basket is set down in front of us to enjoy. ย I know you are going to love this Copy Cat Olive Garden Breadstick Recipe

    There is nothing quite like biting into a warm yummy Olive Garden breadstick and just enjoying it.

    Here's the thing though we rarely treat ourselves to dinner at Olive Garden. ย We are incredibly focused this year on keeping with our budget and paying off our car. I have been on a mission to make our favorite restaurant recipes at home.

    This week I decided to make Copy Cat Olive Garden Breadsticks and let me tell you this recipe is dangerous! I seriously mean red warning lights, caution tape dangerous!

    We first shared this recipe way back in 2013!ย  Since then our photography skills have improved a little bit so we re-photographed it and did a few updates to bring you the best recipe.

    Olive Garden Breadstick Recipe you can make at home! Perfect for pasta dinner night or as a side with a hot bowl of soup.

    Ingredients

    (I normally list out how much you need for each ingredient, this recipe calls for ingredients to be added multiple times and honestly it gets a bit confusing listing the overall amounts so I am going to list the ingredients and then break down how much in the steps)

    Warm Water
    Active Dry Yeast
    Sugar
    Flour
    Salt
    Vegetable Oil

    Ingredients needed once the breadsticks are out of the oven
    Margarine or butter
    Salt
    Garlic Powder

    Directions
    In a bowl of an electric stand mixer ( I used our KitchenAid Mixer) whisk together 1 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water, 1 ยผ teaspoon active dry yeast and ยฝ teaspoon granulated sugar until the yeast has dissolved.

    Allow resting for 10 minutes

    Add in remaining 1 tablespoon and 2 ยฝ teaspoons granulated sugar, 1 ยฝ cup flour, 1 ยพ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Switch to the paddle attachmentย and blend until mixture is well combined

    Switch mixer to theย Dough Hookย and add in 1 ยฝ cups flour, knead mixture on slow speed adding ยผ cup flour at a time

    Knead the mixture until the dough is smooth and elastic, the dough should pull away from the bowl but still be slightly sticky

    Transfer dough to a large buttered mixing bowl, cover and allow to rest in a warm spot until it doubles about 1 ยฝ hours

    Punch risen dough and divide into 12 segments,ย Keep segments covered while you are working

    Roll each segment into a rope on a lightly floured surface

    Transfer to aย Silpat Matย or buttered cookie sheet

    Cover and let rise for 1 hour

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees

    Bake for 11 -13 minutes until golden brown

    In a small bowl whisk together ยฝ teaspoon salt and ยผ teaspoon garlic powder

    Remove breadsticks from the oven and run a stick of butter/margarine over the hot breadsticks. Immediately sprinkle with garlic/salt combo

    Serve warm and enjoy! ย Olive Garden Breadstick Recipe you can make at home! Perfect for pasta dinner night or as a side with a hot bowl of soup.
