My Friend Wendee shared this recipe with me. I think they taste like Olive Garden's Breadsticks. Yummy!
Garlic Breadsticks
Wendee Bacon
Ingredients:
1 ½ c. very warm water
1 package active dry yeast (2 ¼ tsp.)
4 ¼ c. all purpose flour
2 TBS unsalted butter, melted
2 TBS sugar
1 TBS salt
Garlic Butter
Topping:
½ stick unsalted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp table salt
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water and
allow to sit for 10 minutes, covered.
Mixture should be frothy.
In the bowl of your stand mixer or medium sized bowl, combine flour and
salt. Add yeast mixture and melted
butter to flour mixture. Mix with
dough hook attachment on stand mixer or stir with a wooden spoon until fully
combined. Knead dough for a few
minutes just until dough is smooth and elastic. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Pull off small pieces of dough and roll
out into strips. Cover and dough
with plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray (so dough doesn’t stick to it
from the inside) or cover with a clean kitchen towel. Put in a warm place to rise. Once they have doubled in size, preheat oven up to 400
degrees.
While they are baking, make butter topping. Microwave butter until melted and add
garlic powder and salt, stir until combined. After 6 or 7 minutes, brush the bread sticks with half the
butter mixture. Then continue to
bake for another 6-7 minutes.
Immediately upon removal from the oven, brush the other half of the
butter on the sticks.
