Who doesn’t love Olive Garden’s breadsticks…right?! I love making these at home with my other copycat Olive Garden recipes. These breadsticks taste just like the real thing but what I love the most is that you can cook them a little less to make them softer. I love soft bread but sometimes Olive Garden overcooks them so I like to control that myself. I promise, you will love these if you try them. Enjoy!

These make my mouth water. I think I am going to make them today for dinner. Now I have to build the rest of the dinner around them.
Oh, yum! My family was obsessed with Olive Garden when I was kid which was definitely the last time I had their breadsticks. We would go there for any occasion that warranted celebrating. I remember not really wanting to eat anything but the breadsticks! I could definitely see making these a semi-regular occurrence with olive oil instead of butter since I don’t eat dairy. Thank you so much for the inspiration, and trip down memory lane. I’m here from the Link Party Palooza at Tatertots and Jello 🙂
Just wanted to follow up to say I made these, and they were great. Thank you!
These may be the only item I will eat at Olive Garden so I am happy to have the recipe and try it. Thanks!
These breadsticks are my favorite part of going to Olive Garden. Can’t wait to try your version!
These look delish!! 🙂
How many does this make? Trying to figure out if I need to double it for my crew
