Tips for Fluffy Garlic Bread sticks
To make fluffy garlic breadsticks, start with warm water. Use water at about 110°F to help yeast grow. This makes your dough rise well. Letting the dough rise is important. It needs about 1.5 hours for the first rise and another hour for the second. This makes the breadsticks fluffy. After shaping, brush the dough with melted butter. This adds flavor and helps the outside get crispy. The inside stays soft.
- Don’t rush the rising time: Total dough rise time around 2 hours.
- Measure accurately: Use 3 cups of flour for the perfect texture.
- Monitor baking: Set your oven to 400°F and bake for about 12 minutes for ideal results.

Storing and Reheating Your Delicious Bread sticks
After making your garlic breadsticks, it’s key to know how to store them. For a few days, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to five days. If you have leftovers or want to prepare ahead, freeze them. Wrap each breadstick in plastic wrap, then foil, and put them in a freezer bag. This way, they’ll stay tasty for up to three months. To reheat your garlic breadsticks, thaw them first if frozen. Then, heat your oven to 350°F. Place the breadsticks on a baking sheet and warm them for 10 to 15 minutes. This makes them fluffy and warm again, just like when they were fresh.
