Olive Garden Breadsticks
Description
The recipe begins by activating yeast in warm water with sugar until frothy, ensuring the dough will rise. Olive oil, salt, and flour are incorporated and kneaded to a smooth dough, which then rises until doubled in size. The risen dough is punched down, divided into 12 portions, rolled into 8-9 inch logs, and placed on a baking sheet to rest briefly. While resting, a garlic butter mixture made from melted unsalted butter, salt, and garlic powder is prepared. Baking the breadsticks at 425°F for 12-15 minutes produces a golden exterior with a soft, tender interior. Warm breadsticks are then brushed with the garlic butter to enhance flavor and moisture.
The breadsticks have a mildly sweet, yeasty flavor complemented by the savory garlic butter. Their size and softness make them suitable as a bread accompaniment to salads, soups, or Italian meals.
They are best served fresh and warm, but can be reheated if needed. The garlic butter applied immediately after baking melds into the bread, providing a fragrant finish.
