We love a meal that starts with an appetizer, and breadsticks are the perfect food! Breadsticks are a type of Italian bread that is long, thin, and typically un-sauced. They can be enjoyed as is or used as a dipping vessel with saucy dishes.

While there are many ways to make breadsticks, this easy method combines simple ingredients to make garlic breadsticks that get cooked right on a sheet pan in just 20 minutes or les! The result is a tender, chewy breadstick perfect for any occasion.

Serve with dishes such as lasagna soup, creamy tortellini soup, salad, or pasta for a complete meal or enjoy as a snack. These easy breadsticks are also freezer-friendly, so be sure to make a double batch!

Why Youโ€™ll Love This Recipe

  • Make them with just 10 simple ingredients you may already have on hand.
  • They can be served with a variety of different meals.
  • The sheet pan method makes assembly and baking a flawless recipe.
  • You can season them with just about anything!

Ingredients Youโ€™ll Need

  • All-Purpose Flour - This dry ingredient makes up the base of the dough and adds to its tender and fluffy texture.
  • Warm Water - This helps to activate the yeast, so it adds a perfect texture.
  • Melted Butter - Gives the breadsticks a rich buttery flavor throughout.
  • Granulated Sugar & Yeast - These two ingredients work synergistically to add texture and a yeast flavor to the breadsticks.
  • Salt - Helps enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients
  • Garlic Salt & Italian Seasoning - Gives the breadsticks garlic flavor with a touch of herbs.
  • Grated Parmesan - Adds a salty, cheesy flavor that pairs well with the rest of the ingredients.

How To Make Sheet Pan Breadsticks with Parmesan and Garlic

Activate the yeast: Add warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes or until bubbly.

Mix and proof the dough: Slowly add the flour with the dough hook attachment to a stand mixer. Mix until the dough starts to form a loose ball. Cover the mixing bowl with a dish towel and let the dough proof for 30-45 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.

Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐ F. Prepare a sheet pan. I like to use parchment paper for easy clean-up. Melt the butter and pour half of it onto the bottom of the sheet pan.

Form the breadsticks: Place the dough in the center of the sheet pan. Starting in the middle of the dough, press the dough outward toward the edge of the pan. Keep pushing the dough toward the edges until the dough covers the bottom of the pan. Pour the rest of the melted butter over the dough's top, ensuring the whole surface is covered. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning evenly over the top.

Proof and cut: Let the breadsticks sit for 15-20 minutes or until the dough rises about an inch.

Using a pizza cutter, cut the breadsticks into rows. You can cut them however big or small you like.

Bake and cool: Bake the breadsticks for 18-20 minutes or until they are slightly golden around the edges. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

  • When working with yeast, you want to ensure that the water isn't too hot or too cold. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast won't activate. The water should be just lukewarm to the touch.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, you can mix the dough by hand until it forms a loose ball then follow the recipe instructions from there.
  • If you don't have garlic salt, you can use regular salt and add in a little bit of garlic powder to taste.
  • You can cut the breadsticks into different types of shapes including strips, triangles, or even squares!

Variations

  • Use different grated cheese: If you're not a fan of Parmesan cheese, you can use any other type of grated cheese that you like including pecorino romano or asiago cheese.
  • Add in other spices: If you want to change up the flavor of the breadsticks, you can add in other spices such as onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Add fresh garlic: If you want an extra boost of garlic flavor, you can add in some minced garlic to the dough before proofing.
  • Dairy-free: If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can use vegan butter instead of regular butter and vegan parmesan cheese.

Storing & Freezing

Storing: Any leftover breadsticks can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Placing them in the fridge will dry them out faster.
Freezing: Cooled breadsticks can also be frozen for later. Simply place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to three months. When you're ready to eat them, let them thaw at room temperature then reheat in the oven until warmed through.

FAQ

Can I make breadsticks ahead of time?

Yes! You can make the dough up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to use it. Let the dough come to room temperature before following the recipe instructions.

Can I make these without yeast?

No, unfortunately, this recipe won't work without yeast. Yeast is what gives the breadsticks their fluffy texture and helps them rise.

Is breadstick a baguette?

No, a breadstick is not the same as a baguette. A breadstick is typically thinner and longer than a baguette and has a denser texture. Baguettes are also usually made with different types of flour, giving them a more chewy texture.
