This is one of my very best recipes. These breadsticks can be made from scratch in about 40 minutes, from start to finish. They are light and delicious with any kind of Italian dish, or with soup. This recipe makes one cookie sheet, or about 36 small 2×5 inch breadsticks. It works great in a Kitchen Aid. If you are going to use a Bosch you’ll need to double the recipe.
Let me show you how to make it happen…
 


1. Mix the water, sugar and yeast together in a measuring cup or in the bottom of your mixer. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add the salt and the flour, one cup at a time, until it is well incorporated. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

3. Melt the butter and pour half of it into a jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet).

4. Place the dough in the center of the pan. Let it sit for 2 or 3 minutes. Letting the dough rest makes it MUCH easier to shape.

5. Spread the dough out flat onto the pan until it reaches all of the edges. Doing all of the spreading and cutting of these bread sticks, in the pan makes cleaning up your counter so much easier!

6. Pour the other half of the butter onto the dough. Spread it around with your hands. Sprinkle the Johnny’s Garlic Seasoning all over the dough, and then the Parmesan cheese.

7. With a pizza cutter cut the dough into three rows lengthwise, and then into about 12 little height wise rows.

8. Put the pan into a 170 degree oven for about 7-10 minutes. The breadsticks should rise about 1 inch.
9. Turn you oven up to 350 and bake for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

10. When they come out of the oven let them sit and rest again for about 5 minutes. Then redefine your cutting lines with the pizza cutter.

11. I use a pair of cooking scissors to cut the edges where the pizza cutter can’t reach.
These Quick and Easy Breadsticks go wonderfully with 
Fabulous Red Pizza Sauce. You can put it together in a jiffy. 

That’s it! They are wonderful. I have played around with a variety of things that can be put on the top. I will post those recipes in the days to come!  Johnny’s Garlic Spread seasoning is one in a million. I buy it at Costco, and keep several in my long term food storage. It’s really great to have on hand. ENJOY!

  1. just made these tonight. I think my water may have been a bit TOO warm, since they didn't rise up as fluffy as yours. I usually grind my own wheat so we did 100% white this time. HUGE hit with the fam! Thanks for your recipe ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. It's so easy to prepare. I love everything about it. The cheese and everything plus the dips.

  3. Love LOVE LOVE the breadsticks. They are the best I have ever made and my husband said it was a keeper!!!! Thanks for your recipes. I love your blog. I have tried 2 recipes so far and going to try more. My friend told me about your site and she brought me by some food she made from your site. THANK YOU THANK YOU for making my life easier and tastier.

  4. Thank you for this recipe. I was in a bread bind and needed a quick bread or breadstick to go with dinner for a neighbor. These were perfect!!! Yum!

  5. Hi, I am not familiar with the Johnny's Garlic Seasoning, are there any substitutions?

    Just found your blog today, and am so excited!!! So far everything I have seen I want to try.

    Thanks so much for posting all of these!

  6. Hi Libby,
    The only place I can find Johnny's Garlic Seasoning is at Costco, however I've heard some Costco's don't carry it depending on what state you live in. If you google it, however you can buy it online. Good luck! Wish I knew of a perfect substitute.

  7. Thank you Jamie, we don't have a Costco so I will go on line and order. May try to use just garlic salt until I can get it.

    Thanks so much for answering me!

  8. i love these breadsticks and its a perfect size cause ijust made 200 plus for my husbands unit for a lasanga potluck tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜€

  9. I just made these this evening along with the sauce! FREAKING FANTASTIC!! Wow. They tasted almost like Pizza Hut pan pizza crust. They were so soft and flavorful with a buttery, mildly crunchy crust. I also used a homemade garlic seasoning along with a small medley of Italian cheeses. Thank you for this recipe. I plan to use it as pizza crust.

    Also, I put half of the dough in the fridge to rise a bit and then threw it in the freezer for later.
