Description

Enjoy soft and buttery Air Fryer Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks at home! This easy recipe delivers the same delicious flavor and texture as the restaurant favorite, perfect for pairing with soups, salads, or pasta.

Ingredients 

Dough:

  • 1 1/2 cup water, warm
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, or adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups flour, all-purpose

Topping:

  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Within 5 minutes, the yeast should start to foam, and if it does not continue, it means that the yeast is old or expired. This recipe will not work.
  • After 5 minutes, notice the foam.
  • Add the salt, flour, and butter.
  • Once the dough is mixed, knead for a few minutes.
  • Shape the bread into long breadsticks, sit for about an hour (they will double in size), and then brush the melted butter on top and sprinkle with Italian seasonings.
  • Set the breadsticks into the air fryer and set the temperature to 320 degrees F for 5-8 minutes. (air fryer setting)
