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
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!

Hey!
What size pan did you use?
Lindsey, I used a 17 1/2 by 12 ish inch jelly roll pan and it worked great for me, but I might do a size smaller next time so they rise a little higher. The breadsticks still did rise about an inch high.
My family loves these breadsticks! I have made them many, many times for my family and once I made 4 batches -one right after the other- for my husband’s baseball team. However, twice they have not turned out well. Once, my daughter made them and we don’t know what she did wrong and last night I made them early and set them on the counter to raise and then put them in the oven closer to dinner time. Weird thing. They tasted dull and not worth the calories! I just read over the comments and really think it’s true–they have to made quick and easy, not wait around and cook. Wonderful recipe. Wonderful site!
I just made these and Oh they are heaven. My husband said they have a wonderful taste. I didn’t have the garlic season but did use the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Just before they were done I put some shredded mozzarella on top. The best.. Thank you for a wonderful recipe and I totally agree butter makes everything better and not that nasty margarine crap!
These are wonderful! I had to let them rise a little longer but that’s due to my oven being weird. Not too greasy, light, fluffy, great taste. I didn’t have that garlic seasoning as well, so I sprinkled coarse salt, parsley flakes, basil, garlic powder, and oregano on top; worked great! I’m glad they make 36, perfect size, too. I’m making lunch for my husband’s coworkers and this recipe, with 36 breadsticks, will allow me to just make 1 batch, instead of having to double a recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Jamie, I am baking these breadsticks right now and am keeping my fingers crossed that they will look like the ones in your picture! They smell great! I read some of the other comments related to this post and just want to thank you for all of your work. Our family loves and appreciates the recipes! Glad you have a backbone!!
I’ve made your breadsticks before, but tonight I split the dough into two pieces. With the first piece I made breadsticks, only I topped with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and a bit of parmagiano. With the other half, I made something I usually use puff pastry for. I took scrambled eggs,a small amount of parmagiano, and a cooked vegetable mixture (onions, pancetta,and chopped arugula,olive oil and a bit of salt to taste) and combine in a bowl. Set aside. Drizzle olive oil in pan, and put dough in pan pat down and let it rest like you suggested because it does make it easier to spread. Spread the dough in the pan and put the egg/veggie mixture on half. Fold the other half over and use fork to crimp closed. If you like you can pierce the top with a few fork holes so that steam can escape. top with olive oil, parmagiano, and some rosemary or garlic salt..whatever your tastebuds desire!
I made these and they were awesome and I will be making again and again, but there was only one problem it’s just me and my honey would it be okay to freeze them after I’ve cooked them?
Wow, these were incredible! We have a dairy allergy in the family & I subbed melted coconut oil for butter.
