Description

These Copycat Olive Garden Bread Sticks are soft and fluffy on the inside just like the real deal. You can enjoy them whenever you want when you make them at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water divided
  • 4 1/4 Cups flour
  • 2 Tbsp butter softened
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. To make the dough place 1/4 c warm water in a bowl and sprinkle yeast on top, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes until foamy..
  2. Add the sugar, butter, salt and 4 cups flour into a mixer. Add in yeast mixture, remaining water and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Add some additional flour (1/4 cup or more) and continue mixing until a nice soft, smooth dough forms.
  4. Place on floured counter top and divide dough in half, forming two one foot long logs of dough.
  5. Cut each log into 8 even pieces. Roll each piece into a 7 inch long breadstick. You will have 16 breadsticks.
  6. Place the breadsticks on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Place breadsticks about 1- 1 1/2 inches apart. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 400.
  8. Make the topping and brush the breadsticks with 1/2 the mixture before baking.
  9. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.
  10. After you remove from the oven brush with the remaining butter mixture.

Notes

Tips & Notes: The recipe makes about 16 bread sticks which is too many for my reduced size family so I usually cut the recipe in half and it still works great. Eight bread sticks was enough for dinner and a few for leftovers too. If you need to make these extra quick and easy, you can use some frozen bread dough to make the breadsticks and no one will probably know the difference! You will get 8 breadsticks out of one loaf of frozen bread dough. You can also use frozen rolls and make one breadstick from each roll (they will be slightly smaller)

Classic Carrot Cake with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting

Description

Garlic bread rolls are soft and fluffy dinner rolls packed with garlic flavor. These homemade rolls are made with lots of fresh garlic in the dough and brushed with even more garlic herb butter after baking!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, *See notes below for measuring*
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk, warmed to 110°F
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops

Instructions

  1. Lightly butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 pan and set it aside.
  2. In a small pot, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat and cool while you measure the other ingredients.4 1/2 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  3. In a stand mixing bowl, combine the flour, parsley, sugar, yeast, and salt. Then add the warmed milk, egg, and garlic butter from above. Knead on low speed with the dough hook until the dough looks smooth and feels soft and tacky, about 10-12 minutes. *If the dough is too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour at a time until you have a workable dough. 3 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon (434 g) all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast, 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, 1 cup (225 g) whole or 2% milk, 1 (55 g) large egg
  4. Cut the kneaded dough into 12 equal portions (use a scale for accuracy- 67 grams each). Shape each piece of dough into a smooth ball with your hand. Pinch the bottom of the roll where the seam comes together to keep it tight. Then place the shaped dough balls into the prepared baking pan. Cover the top with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and set them in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours. *Watch the video below for visual aid!
  5. Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C.
  6. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg wash. Then bake the dinner rolls for 20-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.1 beaten egg, for brushing the tops
  7. While the rolls are baking, make the garlic butter. Melt the butter in a pot and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Then remove it from the heat and stir in the parsley. When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush them with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and serve warm!2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, flaky sea salt

Notes

*Measure your dry ingredients properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour, as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*
Note on yeast: If you use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast, you must activate it first. Stir the yeast into the warm milk and a sprinkle of the sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes. It should look nice and foamy! Then, after the dough is kneaded, let the dough rise until doubled in size before shaping (roughly 30-60 minutes).
Storage: Dinner rolls are best served the day they are made, but can be stored for 2-3 days in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature.
Freezer: After baking, remove the rolls from the pan and let them cool completely. Transfer them to an airtight container for one month.
Make ahead: Once the rolls are shaped and snuggled into their baking pan, cover the top tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The next day, let them double in size at room temperature before baking. This could take a few hours!
Reheating: These garlic bread rolls are best served warm! Before serving, cover the rolls with foil and bake them at 350°F until warmed through. You can also pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until warm!
