These garlic breadsticks are absolutely delicious, and a breeze to make. An easy recipe for the beginner baker.
The breadsticks pair wonderfully with lasagna, spaghetti, Zuppa, or even soup and salad!

I personally like them best fresh from the oven, on the side of our favorite lasagna: Simple Venison and Sausage Lasagna
I like to add a little extra garlic to the topping, and you could even add some onion powder or dried parsley.
This is a great recipe to let the kids help with! What child doesn’t enjoy playing with dough? And they get to roll it into fat “snakes”, how fun is that? Even us adults enjoy that part, to be honest…
Have fun and don’t try to make it picture perfect. Just enjoy it, wonky shapes and all.
