3 Ingredient Fluffy Garlic Butter Breadsticks

The perfect appetizer/snack for your Christmas dinners or just any kind of dinner, or even lunch. Serve it with some creamy soup and it’s simply divine.

Remember my 2 ingredient bagels recipe? Well, I levelled up the game and created these – 3 Ingredient Fluffy Garlic Butter Breadsticks. Perfect for when you’re running short on time and need something to pair it with your soups and meals. And don’t come at me saying, ““tHaT’s NoT 3 iGrEdIeNtS!” Well… technically it is 3 ingredients (the dough I mean, the salt is optional but I would still recommend it).

Yes, we’re using self rising flour again. “What is self rising flour?” – you may ask. It’s basically flour but premixed with baking powder and sometimes salt. Perfect for scones, muffins, quick breads, and recipes like this!

It’s pretty simple. You make the 3 ingredient dough, divide into pieces, roll each piece into logs, twist two pieces at a time, add the coating, and bake! Regular breadsticks take hours, but this one takes less than one hour! Whenever I’m having some soup and forget to buy bread/not enough time to make bread, this is my go-to recipe.

Ingredients

Dough:

• 1/2 cup self rising flour
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• Pinch of sea salt

To Boil:

• Boiling water
• 1 tbsp baking soda

Coating:

• 1 egg (whisked)

Topping:

• Melted garlic butter
• Sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the dough ingredients together with a wooden spoon in a bowl.
3. Lightly flour a surface and roll the dough into a ball. Divide into 8 equal triangles with a knife. Grab each triangle and roll each of them into a long cylinder. Divide each cylinder in half (so you will have 16 long cylinders). Carefully twist 2 cylinders together to form a braid. Secure both ends.
4. Add the baking soda to the boiling water (be careful when doing this step as the baking soda may fly out everywhere). Submerge each breadstick in boiling water for 5-10 secs until it has slightly expanded (this step is optional, but it makes them larger and fluffier). Repeat for the rest. Place on a cooling rack to remove excess water.
5. Place the breadsticks on a lined baking tray and brush the egg wash over them. Bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until they’re lightly browned.
6. To finish off: brush melted garlic butter and scatter on sea salt according to your liking. Enjoy!
