Homemade Soft Breadsticks (Like Olive Garden!) | Sally's Baking

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is a cost-effective substitute for greasing.

Mix warm water and sugar in a bowl; add yeast and let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; create a well in the center.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle.

Cut the dough into strips for breadsticks; twist each strip for texture.

Place breadsticks on a baking sheet lined with cornmeal; brush with olive oil.

Sprinkle garlic powder, herbs, and black pepper on top.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
