Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks stacked, with a basket of breadsticks in the background

Surprisingly quick and delicious, you will be surprised at how quickly you can whip up fresh from scratch breadsticks!  If you don’t want to make your own dough, these do work beautifully with frozen bread dough or rolls as well!

We love these in our house either as a snack or served alongside a pasta or lasagna dish!  If you don’t have the cheeses listed below, these work great with pretty much any cheese you have on hand!  This recipe can easily be doubled.

  1. Thank you! I just found you and I’m so happy I did! My first recipe from your collection, these were sooooo delicious, easy, quick and filled up my giant kids alongside the bolognese I cooked. They were a hit! I added extra garlic in the butter spread and Italian herbs. Can’t wait to try other recipes. Thanks for your efforts 5 stars

    1. I am so happy to hear you loved this recipe and can’t wait for you to try more Anna!

  2. I am making this right now but the recipe calls for 3 C. flour and in the instructions it says to use 2 C. flour so I’m going to eyeball the dough to see if it needs more flour. Also, can this dough be prepared a few hours ahead of time before baking? I won’t be baking it for another couple of hours but I like to prepare ahead of time. We love fresh bread and I bake it often so hopefully these will be a new family favorite! Thanks! :-)

    1. The remaining flour is added in the same step. Hope they were great!

      In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, water, sugar and salt. Add in the yeast mixture and gently stir. Add remaining flour and stir until completely combined.
