Olive Garden Breadsticks
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups very warm water
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
Garlic Butter topping:
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon 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 pieces of dough and roll out into strips.
The first few times I made this, I pulled off way too much dough for each breadstick. So pull off smaller size
pieces than you would think you'd need. Remember these are going to double in size!
Cover the 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 and put in a warm place to rise. I like to preheat my oven to 150F
degrees, then turn it off. I’ll put the breasticks in there to rise because it is a nice, warm & draft free area.
Once they have doubled in size (about an hour), remove sheet from oven and preheat oven up to 400F
degrees.
Once it has reached temperature, take plastic wrap off of breadsticks and put in the oven to bake.
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.
