Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour:<\/strong> I used all-purpose flour to make these garlic breadsticks. You can easily replace it with bread flour for a chewier bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butter:<\/strong> I used salted butter, but you can also use unsalted butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeast:<\/strong> You can use active dry yeast or instant yeast. Please make sure your yeast is fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt:<\/strong> Regular table salt works well here for flavoring the breadsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> For activating the yeast and overall balancing the flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic powder:<\/strong> This is mixed with salt to make garlic salt, which is sprinkled on top of the warm breadsticks to give them their lovely garlicky flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
