Homemade Olive Garden Bread sticks

Here is my recipe for bread sticks that I think are pretty close to The Olive Garden's.  It's made in a bread machine, so it's super easy. 



1 cup water, room temperature
3 Tbsp. oil
3 cups bread flour
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 package yeast

  • Place all ingredients in bread machine in order per manufacturer's instructions (mine is in the order listed).
  • Set for dough cycle.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces, roll and shape each into an 8 inch rope
  • Place  1/2 inch apart on a cookie sheet ( I line it with parchment paper)
  • Sprinkle with salt
  • Let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes
  • Bake at 425 for 10 minutes or until slightly browned.
  • Mix together 1/2 stick melted butter and 1/4 tsp. garlic powder and brush over warm bread sticks
Enjoy!  Let me know how they turn out!

  1. I am going to have to try these out. I love the bread sticks from Olive Garden. I would be content to just eat them and the dipping sauce when we go.

  4. Do you know how much one package of yeast is? I buy yeast in bulk so a measure would help! Thanks :)

  5. I buy my yeast in bulk too. Most of the recipes I've made call for a package and I just use 2 1/4 tsp. Sometimes I just throw in 3 tsp. :)

  10. Hmmm. How would these be made without a bread machine?

  11. I would say without a bread machine to mix dough & let rise in an oiled covered bowl for about 45min. Then make into the bread stick shape and let rise again till double in size then, bake.
