  • Vegan Olive Garden Breadsticks Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup lukewarm (just barely above room temperature) water with 1 Tbsp sugar and 2.5 tsp dry active yeast. Allow the mixture to bloom for 5-10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric stand mixer add 2 cups flour and 1.5 tsp salt. Turn on low and add 1 cup very hot water. Mix to combine.

    Once the yeast is very foamy, pour it into the mixing bowl. Turn the mixer on and slowly add one more cup of flour. Let the mixer run until the dough is very smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

    Dump the dough out onto a floured work surface. It should be very soft and tacky. Cut the dough into quarters. Then cut each quarter into 3 equal pieces, to make 12 equal portions. Use your hands to roll each piece of dough against the counter, into a long 10-inch rope.

    Gently move the dough ropes onto the baking sheets, leaving room in between for expansion.

    Once all the breadsticks are rolled out, place them in the oven for 12-14 minutes.

    Mix together 2 Tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp garlic salt (or more to taste) and brush mixture onto finished breadsticks after they’ve cooled slightly.

    (Recipe is written with stand mixer in mind but it isn’t really necessary)
