I’ve been making bread for years but always like to try recipe variations. This is some of the softest dough I have ever made! Also, not over complicated, which I love. The first batch was gone in a few minutes and I had to make another batch before the night was over! Great recipe!

In reply to Ma.

The dough is so pillowy and nice to work with, and the breadsticks taste amazing. It really does come together in no time at all, perfect for someone (me) who forgets to get the bread started until way too late in the day.

These are so addictive! I put some fresh garlic in the butter to take the garlickyness over the top, they don’t even get a chance to get cool off .

In reply to Ma. Same temp, I would suspect the bake time would be longer but not having tried it myself I'm not sure exactly how long.

If I make the onto balls instead of rolls and putting a 8×8 dish do I bake the same temp and time or longer?

In reply to Jenn. Hi Jenn! I usually find it easier to do the first rise in the refrigerator since its a longer rise then shape and do the second rise the next day. I think it could potentially work to do the second rise in the refrigerator but I'd be more inclined to do the first rise in the refrigerator. :)

Hi Sam, could I make the dough the day before baking, do the first rise and then refrigerate after shaping and do the 2nd rise the next day? Thanks

These were a huge hit in my household! Glad I made 2 batches. Definitely will be making them again.

Great recipe with couple of exceptions – it’s good for 10 sticks and I wouldn’t use salt for the topping. Comes out too salty.
Otherwise, it’s pretty great!
Thank you

I made the recipe for garlic sticks in my bread machine and it made wonderful bread.

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! I haven't tried it, but I think it could be possible to freeze this dough. Let me know how they turn out if you do try it. :)

If I am making these for a care gift to go with a dish can the raw dough be frozen and thawed before baking?

In reply to Rachelle. Hi Rachelle! It will make them a little bit sweeter, but will work just fine. :)

Can you use brown sugar instead of white sugar?

In reply to Shiloh. Hi Shiloh! Personally, I think breads are always best fresh, but these will last several days after baking. I'm so glad you enjoyed them! :)

These were INCREDIBLE. My family loves Olive Garden breadsticks so I was skeptical but we all agreed that these are even better!! I made them Friday and Sunday and will make more later this week. My only question is can this be made the day before? Thanks!

Love these bread sticks. They were easy to make and bake. Very fluffy and so good with your wonderful beef stew recipe.
The sticks were a little on the small size so I’m wondering if I should have proved them more after they were shaped. It was a bit chilly in the house at the time.
They still turned out great. Thanks for all your precise instructions.

In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy! Instant yeast will work but some of your processes are going to change a little bit and without having done it I can't say exactly how to do it.
