Simple Garlic Breadsticks: Bread Machine Recipe
Alyssa loves sharing her family's favorite recipes with the world. She is a wife and a mom who enjoys drinking copious amounts of coffee.
Breadsticks are one of my favorite foods to make. My bread machine saves me time and effort, making this a staple side dish in my house. Recently, I ran out of Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese, meaning I couldn't make my family's favorite breadsticks. I needed a creative solution, and I needed one fast!
Enter these garlic breadstick twists. I tweaked my original recipe and dough-manipulation method to make these culinary treats. They were a big hit on spaghetti night and my family has requested that I make more as soon as possible.
These breadsticks are easy to whip up and will quickly become your family's favorite, too!

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons yeast
For the pan:
- yellow cornmeal, a pinch or two
For the topping:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- garlic salt, to taste
- grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Instructions
- Place your kneading paddle in the bread pan. Put dough ingredients in the pan according to the manufacturer's instructions. I have a Hamilton Beach breadmaker and I put the wet ingredients in first, followed by the dry, and added the yeast last.
- Place the bread pan in your bread machine and select the dough setting. Let the machine work its magic.
- Lightly coat the bottom of your cookie sheet or pan with a pinch or two of cornmeal.
- Once your bread machine is done, set dough on a generously floured surface.
- Roll dough out into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick.
- Use a dough cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough lengthwise into even pieces. Then cut it in half.
- Separate a piece and hold it in both hands. Fold it and roll it as you would while making a playdough snake. Then holding each end, gently twist the piece. Set it on your pan, pinching the ends so they hold their shape.
- Repeat this process for each piece.
- Cover the pan and let the breadsticks rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, set out your butter so it can soften.
- Once your breadsticks have risen, add the garlic powder to the butter. Mix well.
- Spread your garlic butter mix generously onto the breadsticks using your hands.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove the pan, but don't turn off the oven yet. Add a little garlic salt and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Serve warm breadsticks with a side of dipping sauce. These breadsticks pair well with spaghetti. Enjoy!
