Our family loves the breadsticks at Olive Garden. If you do too, now you can make your own at home.

Olive Garden copycat breadsticks

To make your Olive Garden copycat breadsticks, you only need some basic ingredients you most likely have in your pantry.

After mixing and forming a dough ball, you’ll let the dough rise for about a half hour.

Next, you’ll roll the dough into one long “tube” shape and then cut it into strips of about sevent to eight inches.

After brushing with butter and salt, bake the breadsticks for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Garlic butter is brushed on top after they come out of the oven. 

Doesn’t that sound delicious? There’s nothing better than fresh, warm breadsticks!
