| Yield: | 8 breadsticks |
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour, plus more for kneading
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt, or to taste
- 3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix 1 cup flour and Greek yogurt together in a medium bowl until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a surface dusted with more self-rising flour, and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. Continue adding flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
- Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a thick 8×10-inch rectangle. Cut 8 even strips from the dough, molding into long logs if needed. Move to the prepared sheet pan.
- Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 16 to 18 minutes. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
Reviews
I think I know why my breadsticks didn’t rise. I didn’t remix the self-rising flour that I made and the salt fell to the bottom of the container. I think that is it. They were really good though
These are absolutely the BEST breadsticks – so easy, and the recipe allows for many customizations. I put Italian seasonings and Parmesan in the dough, and made twists. Basted with olive oil before baking and topped with grated Parmesan. Excellent recipe!
