My foolproof garlic breadsticks are drenched in roasted garlic butter and gooey cheese and bake in minutes. It needs just 5 simple ingredients.
The easiest garlic breadsticks recipe ever.
Honestly, who can resist a pile of buttery garlic bread sticks? I know I can’t! And since I made these homemade breadsticks with my magic 2-ingredient dough, they’re even more convenient and foolproof.
It’s ready in under 20 minutes and needs just a few ingredients. I could eat them on their own, but they are perfect with a bowl of Tuscan white bean soup or some Italian stuffed peppers. My family reckon these taste even better than Olive Garden.

Key Ingredients
- Greek yogurt dough. To make this dough, you’ll need self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, which can be full-fat, low-fat, or nonfat.
- Butter. I used melted unsalted butter, but you could also use good-quality olive oil.
- Minced garlic. I highly recommend using fresh minced garlic over bottled garlic or garlic powder.
- Shredded cheese. Use whatever shredded cheese or dairy-free cheese you’d like. For a more Italian flavor, I’d recommend a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese.
- Mixed herbs. I used an Italian herb blend with rosemary, basil, and oregano.
How to make garlic breadsticks
Find the printable recipe with measurements below.
Step 1- Make the dough. Prepare the 2-ingredient magic dough as directed.
Step 2- Shape it into a rough rectangular shape.
Step 3- Assemble. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the dough with butter or olive oil. Brush the melted butter with garlic over the dough, reserving half an inch from each side, then sprinkle cheese and herbs.
Step 4- Bake the breadsticks for 15-17 minutes or until golden around the edges.
Step 5- Slice and serve. Remove the breadsticks from the oven and sprinkle with more Italian herbs and salt. Using a pizza cutter, slice the loaf into strips.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Use a stand mixer. This is optional, but sometimes, when I make the dough, I find using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment makes the process go more smoothly.
- Add more garlic. Actually, you can add as much garlic as you’d like, but for every extra tablespoon of garlic, add an extra teaspoon of butter or oil.
- Wrap in foil. If you notice the breadsticks are turning golden brown before the centers are fully cooked, lightly cover them with foil to prevent burning.
- Add plenty of flour to your work surface. Trust me, nothing is a bigger pain than cleaning up a sticky, doughy mess, so add plenty of flour to your surface and dough ball!
Frequently asked questions
Yes, if you don’t want to make your own dough, you can use store-bought pizza dough instead. Just remember it has to be fresh, and you’ll still need to roll it out.
Yes, simply use gluten-free self-rising flour to make the dough, and these breadsticks will be gluten-free.

Garlic crispies are really good. I like.
These garlic breadsticks are a staple every pasta night. Nothing can beat how tasty it is!!!
Interesting. I need to learn how to make 2 Ingredient Magic Dough. Then I can make this recipe.
Thanks for sharing, Arman.
We just baked this super easy no yeast garlic pizza bread with coconut yogurt and oat milk today.
We love it. 😉
Arman, this is brilliant. I just made this recipe using gluten free self-rising flour and plain coconut yogurt and it’s fabulous. My kids have a million food allergies (only a mild hyperbole) and we always struggle to find a bread or flatbread that they can safely eat. Your recipe was delicious, quick, versatile, and we are all very happy people right now! THANK YOU for your creativity and for posting this! Wonderful!!
You are a gem, Karin!
