For as much as Frog Prince and I love bread, we rarely make bread sticks.
Now, we might have to make an exception.
These bread sticks are amazing! Great flavor, and really easy to make. I couldn't go all out whole wheat in this recipe because, well, Olive Garden's bread sticks are not whole wheat. But, I did use 1 C of white whole wheat flour, just to make them a little more Finding Joy in My Kitchen style!
Olive Garden Breadsticks - Misadventures of Mrs. B
3/4 C warm water
1 1/8 tsp. yeast
2 1/4 flour
1 T butter, melted {unsalted}
1 T sugar
1 tsp salt {I used sea salt}
Begin by dissolving the yeast in the warm water, in the bottom of your mixing bowl.
Add the melted butter, salt and sugar to the mixture.
Add the flour; and mix the flour in using a dough hook.
Allow the dough to rest, covered for ~45 minutes.
Then, shape into 8-10 bread sticks.
Bake at 400 for ~7 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together 1 T melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp. sea salt and 1 tsp. garlic powder.
Brush each breadstick with melted butter mixture.
Then, bake for ~8 more minutes, until lightly browned.
Brush the rest of the melted butter over the breadsticks. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
