Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks
My family loves Olive Garden but I am not to fond of the bill after feeding this whole crew. Making CopyCat Olive Garden at home has saved us quite a bit of cash. My daughter and I are huge fans of our CopyCat Olive Garden Salad Dressing. The hubby and I like to enjoy CopyCat Olive Garden Minestrone Soup. When I make CopyCat Olive Garden Toasted Ravioli, there is NEVER any leftovers.
Since my entire bread eating family really enjoys Olive Garden Breadsticks, I figured it was time to start making those at home too! Considering this recipe is super simple, I know we will be making these often.
This CopyCat Olive Garden Breadstick recipe will quickly become one of your favorites too! Who can resist the buttery and garlicky breadsticks? They would be perfect with the CopyCat Olive Garden Alfredo recipe I shared with you or any other meal for that matter.
Since there are only a few ingredients needed to make your own homemade Olive Garden Breadsticks, the recipe is quite inexpensive and comes together quite quickly.

Made these last night.
An excellent recipe, for sure!!
Without knowing, my son said, “Dad, these are just like Olive Garden”. One day I’ll tell him the truth, but for now he thinks that I’m just that good at scratch cooking. lol
These are in a warm place rising right now. Made copycat OG zuppa Tuscan soup in the instant pot to go with it on this rainy day in Northern California. I have a feeling mind are going to he HUGE as I didnt “cut in half” lol. Oh well. Yum. BYW I did the dough in my bread machine.
this is probably a really dumb question, but do you use plain or self-rising flour?
The Olive Garden Breadsticks come premade in a bag to Olive Garden…just so y’all know. I used to work there.

How many do you normally get in a batch? Need a large quantity and trying to figure out timing on this great recipe.
I was wondering how many this recipe yields too?
I made these and they were very good. I think what makes them distinctive is the butter/garlic powder brushed on the top before and after baking – any good bread recipe would probably work. I’d make them again.
Hi,
These look super yummy! I can’t wait to try them but am wondering, how many do you normally get out of a batch?
Thanks!
