Garlic Rosemary Breadsticks

I’m just going to say it … Garlic Rosemary Breadsticks should be served with every meal. They are perfect for sopping up any sauce, scooping up that last bite of whatever you’re eating, and they take every dish up a notch on the perfection meter.

Corey has worked hard to perfect his breadstick recipes and our family is obsessed.

How do you make Garlic Rosemary Breadsticks?

  • Using a microwave-safe measuring bowl (or cup), add water and heat to 105° to 115°. Once warm, stir in the sugar and yeast until dissolved. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes or until it is frothy and foamy on top.
  • Mix the flour and salt together in a large bowl for a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment (or a large spoon), combine the softened butter into the flour and salt.
  • Pour the foamy and frothy yeast into the flour mixture. Using a dough hook attachment, blend the ingredients together, and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. You can also knead the dough by hand if need be.
  • Place the dough in a covered container or put plastic wrap over your mixing bowl. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 1½ hours or until the double has risen to double its size.
  • Then measure out 1 to 2-ounce portions of dough. Using your hands or the countertop, roll the dough into 6 to 7 inch long sticks. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place each stick on the sheet. Cover the entire baking sheet with plastic wrap and allow it to sit for another 1½ or until it has once again risen to double its size.
  • Preheat the oven to 400° F.
  • Bake the breadsticks for 10 to 12 minutes or until a nice golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush each breadstick with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt to your preferred taste.

How to store Garlic Rosemary Breadsticks:

We always make extra of this recipe to serve with the following night’s dinner. Those that are leftover are either wrapped in plastic wrap or placed in a plastic bag and refrigerated. You can reheat on a low oven setting and bake until warm. Be careful of using the microwave to reheat though as it will usually toughen up the breadstick to where it is chewy and not as fluffy in texture.

These are best eaten within 48 hours.
